You should post this product suggestion on <a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/windowshomeserver">Connect</a>, rather than here. While Microsoft does read this area, they have asked that product suggestions be posted on connect because it makes them easier to sort, rate, triage, etc.<hr class=sig>I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:29:04 Z2009-01-19T17:29:17Z
