the e-mail about ion said exactely what i thought when i read about ion.
the thing is that it would play EVERY codec as it is a HTPC.
and by the time WHS vail comes out, ion or equivalentely powered nettops will be cheaper. what's more, for me an extender that doesn't play all my media is simply not an option.
But at the moment, there is simply no news about vail, so it is all guessing.

I think MS doesn't release news about Vail because WHS v1 is just taking off(many new servers have been released)
