Microsoft Announces Windows Home Server

Microsoft released some details at CES yesterday of there upcoming Windows Home Server platform. This application, which will ship in late 2007, will function as a file and multimedia server for Windows connected PC’s. Backing up is something everyone hates to do, and most people do very little of. WHS is designed to make this easier by automatically backing-up the contents of Windows connected PC’s every night. It also will be Internet accessible, meaning you can connect remotely and access your files over the Internet.

The server will be sold as a software package and also it will be bundled with WHS certified home servers. HP demonstrated a home server at CES. See SuperSite for more information on this unique product.
