Thanks for the support guys. Just one quick correction. I am not saying everyone needs a server/domain. I'm saying everyone should be using server hardware.

I even said in my server recommendations thread that you can use Windows 7 with server hardware. While I do think a domain is the way to go, I'm not saying everyone should be using it. Server hardware on the other hand I do believe everyone should be because the technical knowledge required to repair hardware related issues goes way down as I've outlined in this post. It's not like the possibilities are so remote that it's not worth protecting against. If you go back through the forums, there's people here who've had failed hard drives, bad power supplies, power outages resulting in data loss. Some have even experienced weeks of downtime. I bet if they could go back and do things differently, they would have. All I'm saying is that if you have the opportunity to tackle these issues now, why wouldn't you? The server recommendations was also to point out that you don't need to spend 5000 dollars on a server. You can have all the enterprise protection for under $2000. (That's redundant power supplies, dedicated hardware RAID, backup battery units, ECC RAM).
