Windows Home Server: details and features

jmke · 9th January 2007, 11:25

Much of what we predicted about Home Server is true. It's all about centralization and ease of use, and it's targeted at users who want an easy way to back up all of the important data in their house. It's built using a mix of new and not-new sever technology, but whereas we previously believed it was based on a client OS, Windows Home Server is in fact based off of Windows Server 2003. Dropped behind a suitable firewall, this should be a strong server product that meets many emerging needs in the computing household. Whether or not it can fight off competition from other products, especially the coming onslaught of consumer NAS products, remains to be seen.

to optimally use WHS you'll need Vista client it seems, making Vista and WHS the premier solution of technically challenged families (99% out there?)
