Windows Home Server, anyone in on it???

Hey guys,

a while ago I was reading about windows home server and noticed a button for signing yourself up for beta testing.

So, just for the fun of it, I decided to sign myself up and whatta ya know, last night I got a mail, saying I am invited to join the program.

So, probably tonight I will be downloading the beta version and will be installing it on my server, which then becomes tripleboot. LOL

Will keep y'all posted on what the version is like.

Cheers

Highlights:
  • It automatically backs up all your PCs, presenting restore options as both files and full system images.
  • It handles redundancy across hard drives for the stuff you put on it. No messing with RAID arrays, and you can add/remove disks over time.
  • It automatically backs up all your PCs.
  • You can log into the server over the Internet and get at your shared data.
  • You can log into the server over the Internet and remote control your PCs.
  • It automatically backs up all your PCs and lets you restore individual files and full system images.
  • At the moment they're saying it'll be available off-the-shelf and as OEM software so you can build your own.
As someone who was about to build a file server here and then try to build in a backup system I could get my parents and brother using, this is so incredibly cool. And even better, it works.

Public beta expressions of interest are open now too:
