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.

you know this is a known issue correct? And with about 2 minutes of google searching, you could have fixed the problem?
You can sit there and complain all day, or you can actually do something about it.
Here you go though, since it wasn't worth your time to look for the fix anyways.
Solution
For computers running Windows XP to appear on the Network Map diagram, you must download and install the LLTD Responder component. With the LLTD Responder, a computer running Windows XP can respond to other Windows Vista computers on the network that are attempting to create a network map.
To install the LLTD Responder to a computer running Windows XP
1. Download the update for Windows XP from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=70582
2. If you are prompted to do so, restart your computer.
After your computer running Windows XP restarts, generate a new Network Map with the computer running Windows XP included.

"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? "
Forget that, how about how well it works with windows products! I can't get my Vista box to be accessed by my XP Home laptop. So when I need something from the vista box I either open up the laptop share from the vista box (vista rig can access it, xp one can't access the vista one) or I transfer the file to my linux file server first.
