Microsoft puts it like this: "OEMs will set the final pricing for their products, depending on the storage capacity and additional capabilities." They're just making the software that will let others build the toys.
Since the average home user won't be willing to pay $1000 (much less the many thousands a full-scale industrial recovery/backup server could cost) for a machine that basically does nothing until something goes wrong, OEMs will almost definately try to keep the price down.
What I want to know is whether or not we'll be able to have two WHS boxes on a network. Not right away, of course but if you buy a new WHS-box every so often and the old one still works, will they be able to work together so your backups are twice as redundant?
