Yeah, DroboShare isn't the most uber of things. As you say, Linux is smelly, and the DroboShare is just a Linux box, really. :-)
As for ZFS, Apple will do something that lets them do consumer RAID in machines at the OS software level. Whether it turns out to actually be ZFS with another layer over the top, or they decide to spend a chunk of their core engineering team on designing and writing HFS++ from scratch, or they find something else, I don't know, and they probably don't either yet. My bet is they're making decisions about that as we speak.
There's some stuff in Vista Business about automated backups - does anyone know if Windows 7 has stuff in that space? I think they'd want to...
