| I| would also challenge how service comes into play. With
the above systems remote diagnoses, remote media management,
and training is impossible. With MCE you could have a
box in your living room right now and i could remote in
and build you a playlist, start a movie, or have you wake
up to my favorite music.
This statement raises two issues. One, you are unfamiliar with the remote capabilities of dedicated servers. I am an Xperinet dealer. Remote diagnoses is not only possible but, were a hard drive in the RAID array to go down, I get an email and show up at my client's home with a replacement and they would never even know there was a problem. Two, you openly bring up what is ultimately one of Microsoft's biggest problems. Security. It's not only vulnerable but a clear hacker target....Ping.
