Windows 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.

I think this would be handy, but can't find anything about it working from OS-X. Does this work well to backup and transfer files to and from Apple machines?

As is said in the article, the shares on the WHS machine are simple CIFS shares, meaning any machine with SAMBA and the proper user credentials can access them. On top of that, you could manage the machine too on a Mac with the Remote Desktop Client for Mac->Windows.

There is, however, not a Mac-native version of the Connector software (yet?).
