I am perplexed at PCWorld clumsiness! When they covered FreeNAS in 2012, the version was 8.2... (I read it before Easter 2013.)
People who do not understand why FreeNAS is such an excellent choice :D for a media server are probably those who do not have movie / tv / personal digital anything but music collections. They acquire new music, listen to it, then acquire newer music and discard the old one. I cannot imagine a family home video / photo collection without FreeNAS. I cannot imagine that I would need to spend, again, hundreds of hours to copy movies and shows from DVDs to FreeNAS. And with Blu-Rays copying is even more time consuming. That is why we have FreeNAS servers.
P.S. My personal collection has a very small overlap with the Netflix offer and is being built by purchases from many (>3) Amazon stores (as in different countries) and other quality web merchants.
