Can you Install Windows 2008

Hi,

can you install Windows 2008 on a Ultra4 Ready Nas, replacing the Linux OS.

I saw this...hence the question

No you cannot replace RAIDiator with a 3rd party OS e.g. Windows. Any damage from attempting to do this would void the warranty.

I noticed a ReadyNAS bundled with OEM Windows Server a while back too. I was surprised that Newegg offered such a bundle.

Anyway the NV+ v2 (RND4000-200) is ARM which isn't compatible with Windows.

If that was the case then they should have bundled it with the server. OEM software is only licensed to be sold with new hardware that it is compatible with.
