MSE is generally great, but it feels like IE 6 back in 2005 (no investment in years)... :( Running a multi GB backup with Microsoft's robocopy cmd utility crashes the MSE service. That's really annoying. Given that "Microsoft Forefront" is a rebranded MSE (it can be controlled over the network), I wonder why its real-time scanner can't handle ~100MB/s IO for several hours.
