Windows Home Server Power Pack Update Now Available

Many users of Microsoft's Windows Home Server software were affected by numerous bugs that many considered to impair their products' usefulness, such as the data corruption bug and the lack of 64-bit support, but Power Pack update which we previously reported on has finally fixed those issues, and more.

Other fixes introduced include "backup of home server Shared Folders, improvements to remote access, more efficient power consumption and better performance." Hopefully, this release will prove to be more stable and better received with users. The blog post goes on to say that hardware partners will update their products to the new version, and HP will release a software update that will include the Power Pack and extra functionality.

The team is pleased to announce that Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 has been released to manufacturing (RTM) and is now available on the Microsoft Download Center!

The English version is available now and German, Spanish and French versions will be available on the Download Center soon. Windows Home Server customers who don’t download it on their own will receive Power Pack 1 via Windows Update in August, and the new Chinese and Japanese versions will RTM in August, too.
