Looks quite cool. Windows Server 2003 is a bit too advanced for me, this looks like it would be an ideal solution. From what I've read on Google, it looks like it's only going to be sold OEM though?

Ive got a feeling you've read that wrong, and they are only talking about the new vista backup operations on vista machines only, and not that WHS will not backup a xp or 2k machine, i would be very surprised if that is the case.


dont quote me on it though

Storgage bit sounds interesting although I would love to know how it really compared to RAID i.e. its easy to say you just plug in another 500GM and go but is it really just a LVM rather than a redundancy product. I want software RAID5 but I don't think this gives it.

Sharing Part - Alot of about nothing for me.

How much will it be when its finally released?

For me the only thing that would make me look at this is the disk management part as I have..
2x120GB IDE, 2x250GB IDE, 2x300GB SATA, 1x80GB IDE + 2x DVD drives IDE

Again, just looks more "graphically prsented" for all the plebs.

You've been able to do all that for years with the bottom of the range copy of windows, just without it looking so gay.
