f***ing idiots, everyone has been ready for this for such a long time, its just it will cause hassle and so people are avoid it. All new servers can cope, its just there are a few that can't. It will happen eventually, when it needs to. There is more pressing issues with the maximum hard disk size in computers at the moment - needs new bios' to go over 2TB really. (you see external drives bigger than that cause they have a second controller that does the work)

I knew I could rely on you Sam to provide a proper judgement on the article.
