Missed this one...I picked this up off the Windows Server blog at
http://blogs.technet.com/windowsserver/ It appears at CES on Monday Bill
Gates announced the New Windows Home Server product! (
http://www.stopdigitalamnesia.com/)
*Windows Home Server is a new software product for families with multiple
PCs that want to connect their home computers, digital devices and printers
to help easily store, protect and share their rapidly expanding collections
of digital content and entertainment. Later this year, HP plans to deliver
the HP MediaSmart Server, powered by Windows Home Server.*
Some Microspeak:
*"Windows Home Server was created to help consumers deal with the explosion
in digital content. For example, 273 billion digital images were captured
worldwide in 2006. Today, more than 40 million homes in the U.S. have more
than one PC and one in three homes in the U.S. has an MP3 player. Windows
Home Server automatically backs up home PCs and provides a central location
for storing a family's photographs, music, videos and documents. Using a
personalized Windows Live? Internet address, people will be able to remotely
access digital content on Windows Home Server when they are away from home.
At CES, companies such as AMD, Inventec Corp. and Quanta Computer Inc. will
demonstrate hardware reference designs for Windows Home Server. Windows Home
Server will also serve as a platform for independent software vendors to
build innovative products for the digital home."*
