According to Microsoft's beta tester site for Windows Home Server, they "will be notifying all applicants this week that they can now access the Windows Home Server RC build in order to download the software." Folks in the beta program can already access the latest release but others may join by completing this participation survey. Ars has more.

Of course the .Mac upgrade coupled with Leapord's backup features does exactly the same thing.
I don't think it is quite the same. From what I understand, the 'Back to Mac' stuff will allow you to access and copy files to and from your Mac. So I imagine that your home mac disk will appear on the desktop of whichever Mac you are running it from.
The WHS thing is more of a remote desktop function, so you can do anything on your computer (copy files, run applications) as though you were sitting in front of it.
That's how I understand it anyway.
The other difference is that the remote access for WHS is free; to do the remote thing with Apple will require a .Mac account which will set you back $99 a year.
