Wow, talk about scary:

Now, I see this scary little Microsoft knowledge base article (When you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when you save them to the home server). As you might imagine, I use several of those applications. All my data is stored on the home server. Are you seriously telling me that my personal photo collection might be corrupt, Microsoft? Really? Sorry. But this is scary. Really scary.

I love my WHS. I love the team and all the work the have done to build, ship and launch this product.

However, corruption of my photos tolerate I do not.

I am curios to see how the team handles this cause right now, they are in danger of ensuring that this product dies a quick death if they don't fix this fast and regain the trust of all the early adopters that bought this product. I am extremely upset and disappointed that I may have data corruption lurking on my WHS.

Details in a very poorly written KB Article. More Details in a blog post on the WHS team blog.

This is the kind of issue where I expect an email, letter, critical alert or something from Microsoft.

This is why I have my pictures backed up to Mozy from a separate computer and use FolderShare to store/replicate my files. WHS is just a passive backup of this data.

Update: Ed Bott has more details on the issue. Looks like it may not be as widespread as it seems.
