Judging by the current numbers, I'd say you voted 10 times.
This is a real hard one, since there are a number of great improvements. Can I list them in order of importance? LOL, since I do not use Media Collector, or web streaming, here are my picks in order of importance:
1. Enhanced Home Server Console (I am all about the GUI)
2. Support for eSATA multipliers (why take this away from the EX48*?)
3. Better Mac integration
With the Mac integration, I don't really mind using the OSX disc for OS recovery and then using Time Machine to return user profile info to "normal." And the EX47* update offered by HP includes a Mac MSS console. My Mac users (wife and daughter) have no interest in RDPing to the server.
