"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.

There's a difference between configuring and setting up. Setting it up so it can run is that simple. Configuring it to use PHP4 and PHP5 side by side takes more work. The same is true for Apache on Windows. Or IIS or whatever.
But starting the Apache service actually does make the webserver run. And that's all I'm saying (actually it doesn't take more than 20 seconds to configure Apache and PHP if you know what to edit - in CLI - GUI tools are different).

ROFL...since when has setting up Apache been like this? Excuse me but starting a service and actually "setting" up a webserver are two completely different things. To even imply that Apache could be as simple is just plain misleading.
