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 have a fundamental problem in seeing any value of this product over a dedicated NAS box, or a hard drive enclosure.
The software stack is where this product gets its edge, ease of data backup is the biggest benefit I see to this package, also the pooled storage for people who know how to plug in a hard drive but might not be sure how to do the rest.
For the crowd of people who don't want to take the time to setup and configure a server for home use this might be a good buy, just plug in and do some minimal configuration before using it.
