Windows Home Server Review with Screenshots
Gizmodo has a comprehensive review of Windows Home Server with plenty of screenshots. For more information, here is Microsoft’s page about Windows Home Server.
Windows Home Server is meant to fulfill the storage needs of multi-PC homes. Some of its features include centralized backups, easier in-home file sharing, and media access across the Internet using a free web address.
The Home Server team has done great job, and I’m a huge fan of their efforts, but I’m not sure if home users are quite ready for such a product. Microsoft has tried to make the experience as easy as possible, but even with a great interface, it’s hard for the average home user to comprehend the benefits of things like centralized storage.
The addressable market for Home Server must therefore be pretty small, but when you consider the total possible market - all home users - then you have quite a large market. Microsoft is making an early entrance with the hopes of educating users on the need for such a product. Over time, the market will grow and Home Server will be there waiting.
