Earlier this year, Microsoft announced its upcoming Windows Home Server product; a sort of beefed up NAS based on Windows Server 2003 SP2. A few days ago, Microsoft released the first release candidate for Windows Home Server, and since I was admitted into the beta program, I downloaded this release and transformed my trusty desktop x86 into a Home Server.

Paul Thurrott has a much more in depth preview of WHS on his site.

It's more then just a NAS. It's more of a portal to a home network. It doesn't record videos because a media center pc is supposed to do that then back it up to the WHS where it will get served.

"I mean that I run into comparisons *made by others*."
So you can compare it then. I'm confused why you even mention it.
Although I am shocked it cannot do something as simple as record Video, to play on another machine.
Seriously though I'm not even sure what use this may have. Your article just says its a very expensive fire server from a hardware; software perspective offering no *server* software to do anything...why not buy a NAS device for cheaper. It must do something.
