Windows "At APC we've been running the Beta 2 edition of Windows Home Server for the past two months and it's acquitted itself surprisingly well - no doubt a reflection on the time this 'server for the rest of us' spent in the Redmond skunkworks. There's still some 'fit and finish' to appear before it hits the Release Candidate milestone around Q3, prior to the platform's debut towards the end of this year - but from what we've seen so far, we'd rate Windows Home Server as one of Microsoft's most polished and most impressive 1.0 releases to date. Here's a walkthrough gallery of screenshots from the Beta 2 build of Windows Home Server." There's also a screenshot gallery for Longhorn Server Beta 3.

The irony of the whole thing is the fact that Solaris used to be bashed by Linux users as 'old' and 'archiac'; from the limited experience so far, it seems that Sun is working to improve Solaris to lower the bar of entry.

I think the day when you start seeing small businesses deploy Linux, then it would have made a successful entrace.
