Ballmer will look intoDrive Extender deletion

In a follow-up to Microsoft's decision to remove the Drive Extender feature from its upcoming Windows Home Server software codenamed Vail, Steve Ballmer himself promised to look into the matter. Terry Walsh, a member of Microsoft's MVP Program and a proprietor of WeGotServed, prompted the response by writing to the CEO. Walsh represents a large community of Microsoft software users who are disappointed by Microsoft's decision to get rid of the promised feature.

Steve Ballmer's response is simply "Let’s look into it," though it did arrive on the evening of Thanksgiving so it's likely the issue is being taken seriously by Microsoft.

In the two days since Microsoft announced its decision, Walsh noted over 600 negative comments from users on Microsoft Connect, more than 300 on the Windows Team Blog and about 200 on his own website.
