      It’s on the very first page, opposite to the office server page, and they acknowledge the Author does not exist and that it’s basically an ad for Windows server.

      It’s clearly the old Microsoft. Current Microsoft would be “Microsoft windows azure home server 365 copilot+Server cloud” (yes it says server twice)

        Yes, but current MS Azure+buzzwerds actually works.

        WHS was as very, very bad layer on top of NTFS.

      Your server isn’t working today.

      This is because Microsoft wants you to finish setting up your PC that has been running for ten years.

        WHS wasn’t working then either.

        It was an awful piece of software, you were better off just pirating Windows Server 2003r2 Standard and using the software raid5 over the WHS flaky overlay system.

    Removing the word “windows” in the last frame and also “your dad installs it for your dumb mom” to “your parents install a server. Maybe your mom does it or your dad does it. Maybe you can also help!”

    Teaching “children” that technical tasks are for dady to do is so cringe.

    Those two little changes and it becomes a readable story.

      I agree the language should be adjusted but it doesn’t say or even imply the mom is dumb, that’s a little bit of a stretch.

      Swap windows home server for server on the last page and you’re done.

      Until your kid is 7/8, then you need to explain why one server isn’t enough and you need a second server somewhere else for the same reasons it shows a server being important when the computer gets pee on it.
