Microsoft Home Server Problems

By Digital Trends Staff December 31, 2007

Microsoft Home Server Problems 2007 wasn’t a great year for Microsoft reliability. First there were problems with Xbox 360 and then Windows Vista. Now, to round things out, the companyhas announced a problem with its newly-introduced Windows Home Server. Reports of a file corruption bug have meant that Microsoft is advising users not to edit and save files from a number ofapplications on Home Server, according to TechNewsWorld. In a blog entry, the Home Server team wrote, "A few people in the CommunityForums have reported data corruption when saving files from applications including Windows Vista Photo Gallery, Windows Live Photo Gallery, Microsoft Office OneNote 2007, Microsoft Office OneNote2003, and SyncToy 2.0 Beta. Additionally, some applications, like Microsoft Money and Microsoft Outlook, do not support storing files on shared folders." Company engineers have beenworking on the problem, which has to be worrying, considering that the hardware and software went through extensive beta testing before going on sale in November. However, when added to theXbox and Vista problems, it’s bound to leave even more people questioning Microsoft’s quality control and possibly wary of new products until they can be assured of quality.

Is there a Microsoft Word free trial?

Microsoft Word is actually part of the company's wider Office app suite. Now known simply as Microsoft 365 (formerly Microsoft Office), Microsoft's enterprise software is available in a number of different packages that are now subscription-based; the company has retired the older bundles that were available for a one-time payment. That means if you want a Microsoft Word free trial, you'll need to sign up for the Microsoft 365 trial.
