Home Server for what?

Its very impressive how MS is shutting the personal computer functionalities away. Why you can't share or even setup a web server on your Windows Vista 'Standard' edition? Or better, why you will need to buy a brand new Windows Home Server edition to access your files from anywhere with a internet connection?

I can see it in a near future, if you need to code you probably will need to buy 'Windows Vista Coder Edition', if you need to edit images you probably will need to buy 'Windows Vista Designer Edition'...

Sorry but I just don't agree with dozen different versions to carry through simple computer services.
