Rebooting this headless beast reminds me of the scene in Apollo 13 when they went around the dark side of the moon.

While I understand why Microsoft put in the requirements for WHS to be headless (they don't want people to treat them like normal computers) but that's the main reason I won't get an OEM version.
Just my thoughts.

With RDP, there is really no need to gain "under the hood access". There not a thing I can't do from RDP.

Agreed. I just figured it was taking a bit-o-time. Perhaps if I took a breath?
