My Windows Home Server: Updates

Windows Home Server has been in our home for over 2 months.

Sitting quietly underneath a bunch of other PCs, it just works. From an earlier posting, I decided to purchase a TranquilPC from the UK. Plugging the server in and turning it on just appealed to my sense of simplicity.

Since my last update, a spare 750Gb hard disk drive fell into my hands. Plugging it in to the Windows Home Server, using the administration interface to enable for server use: 1.59Tb of disk space ready to go!

The Windows Home Server team is working on a 64-bit connector for backups, and a bunch of other nice additions in their Power Pack 1.
