Windows Home Server Off to Production, Gets New Partners

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 16th Jul 2007 21:52 UTC

Right on schedule, Microsoft announced that its Windows Home Server software is off to the presses. This clears the way for HP, Gateway, LaCie, Medion, and now Iomega and Fujitsu Siemens, (both also announced today, the latter in Europe only) to begin selling their Home Server-powered hardware later this quarter.

The question is not if Linux will do more for free (that's an easy one to answer), but rather how well such a device will play with Macs or Linux PCs on the network?

It just shows SMB shares, and everyone works with those, so... the answer to your question is "just fine"!

I was talking more about the extended functionalities. Are APIs available to implement on other OSes? These could be nice as media server + backup storage in a multiplatform environment.
