Microsoft introduces Windows Home Server, Sync at CES
 

Microsoft's chairman then officially unveiled Windows Home Server. Announcing that "the home is personal again," Gates touted Windows Home Server as the ideal solution for homes with multiple PCs and for people that want their data available everywhere, all the time. The software giant worked very closely with HP during the development, and the first Windows Home Server device—the HP MediaSmart Server—will ship from HP some time during the second half of 2007.

Windows Home Server provides automated backup for all PCs connected to the network and can share files from PCs, Zunes, and Xbox 360s. It also provides remote access capability. "You don't need to think about volumes and other devices," said Gates. "It's plug and play—the software automatically sees the new storage and moves the data around."
