From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

A big deal at CES that received surprisingly little press coverage in general was Windows Home Server, the little box that would tie it all together and help you bring the power of the PC to every corner of your house.  Hooked in with a Windows Vista machine running Media Center, and an XBox 360 with the Media Center connector capability built-in, the potential is definitely there for a server designed to fit in with the home media and information space.

Well, Microsoft is starting to reveal the details on what Home Server will be and what the team behind it is hoping for.  Yesterday, the team posted to the official blog on Technet, a 3-point high overview of the product.  The three bullet points are:

  • Automated Computer Backup with Simple Restore for your Home Computers
  • Access Everything from Everywhere
  • Solution that Grows With You

Read the full details at the official Windows Home Server Blog.

It's very interesting and I'm definitely keeping an eye on it's progress.

If it breaks the (utterly arbitrary) 5/10 simultaneous shares restrictions limit, I'm listening. Otherwise...pass.
