Windows Home Server is now available from U.S. retailers like Newegg.com and Buy.com. Prices are coming in at just under $200. Intended to compete with networked home storage solutions that are becoming particularly popular as media servers, Windows Home Server is designed to be run on a headless server, meaning it's controlled from a network connection instead of having a keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly connected. Although the price may seem like a bargain compared to Vista, since it's only available in an OEM version that limits the support Microsoft will provide. If you'd prefer to buy a home server with the software already loaded, Hewlett Packard will be releasing one with Windows Home Server for $750 according to information accidentally leaked earlier in the year.

for those who want to know more, here is an indepth review:
http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/Wi...review.ars?bub Snippets: [from the review] What Windows Home Server is At first glance, Windows Home Server seems built to scratch an itch that doesn't exist. When Microsoft set out to make the business case for Windows Home Server, it quickly focused on a very specific target market: "Households with a broadband connection with 2 or more 'active' PCs that are sharing the internet connection." Additional research showed that on average, the majority of these households also had a digital camera, color printer, and a game console, but less than 20 percent reported feeling secure with their backup solution. With Windows Home Server, Microsoft wants to simplify how your files and backups are stored. and yes it's built on the vista kernel! |
