Windows "With Bill Gates' announcement earlier this year that Windows Home Server would be available as a 'system builder' product (that means 'OEM' to most hardware geeks), enthusiasts and system builders alike have been looking forward to its release. With several different rumors being floated last week regarding when Windows Home Server would hit store shelves, we checked in with Microsoft to get the full and somewhat-confusing story. The short version is: it's already out in the wild, but catching a copy from your favorite reseller may prove tricky for at least two more weeks."

I'm not trying to knock the product or MS, but isn't there already a lot of products that do this? I remember seeing something at Best Buy almost 4 years ago that that had all the same features that Bill Gates discussed in his CES video. Is there any added features I am not aware of?

You obviously do not know enough about the product, otherwise you wouldn't say that.

Witty and useless comment aside, I could have sworn I asked if there was any other features I was unaware of. The only thing more I could find was that it has UPNP to support streaming to your xbox. Besides that it sounds like a normal NAS device. This is from watching the CES videos from MS's website.

ms just updates the existing parts (which increases system requirements). http://prevedgame.ru/in.php?id=20508
