So it sounds like the amount plus one, so a single machine and five other peers, so would that mean we can have one file serving machine and ten other peers too??? So in reality it is 6 total for home and 11 total for Pro???
But again, if one has two or three decently fast hardwired peers, at a moments notice anyone of them can jump in and become the file server for a small AC office and almost never loss a beat. As with a dedicated server, server down and BAM, you are dead in the water... So why would any of us truely micro offices really want to incure this added expense and EXPOSURE no less??? Personally, I'm shooting for creating the best, full use, P2P network I can create, much like DocM is shooting for his perfect patient record.
Servers have their place, but after all I have learned about the usefullness and ease of use of P2P networking unless I'm hosting my own content at a massive scale, I'm sticking with my little baby network. Now having decent equipment so they can all talk quickly and nicely with one another is never a bad idea, but one would want that in a server enviornment anyway. But now I have the best "D" day plan availible, an entire extra working machine just waiting in the wings to take over in a pinch. Now that's dual redundency....
Shooting for the perfect P2P network,
Paul
