New information on Windows Home Server | |
|
||
| Time: 00:43 EST/05:43 GMT | News Source: Bink.nu | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

Joel Sider, Senior Product Manager, Windows Server PR Microsoft Corp. provided some new information about Home Server: We are working with Microsoft OneCare and leading anti-virus providers to help them develop solutions specific to Windows Home Server. HP is our launch partner for Windows Home Server and will be shipping the MediaSmart Server, powered by Windows Home Server, later this year. We anticipate other OEMs will follow. At CES, AMD, Inventec and Quanta demonstrated Home Server hardware reference designs, providing a preview of potential Home Server hardware form factors. HP will set the price for MediaSmart Server and is not yet disclosing specifics. Storage capacity will be the primary factor for OEM pricing. Microsoft anticipates that Home Server product pricing will be in the range of a low-end PC. We are considering the possibilities of making Home Server available to system builders or ‘do it yourself-ers.’ | ||

Microsoft can't get this product in the market fast enough for us. Of all the products they announced at CES, Home Server was the most interesting to me.
I bet we see similar storage solutions emerge around W2K7 Server. I hope they do not make the mistake of delaying availability to systems builders and enthusiasts. That would not be welcome news. This is a badly needed product - so hurry up, MS! |

| I can see huge potential for this product. Imagine it becoming the hub for an entire home automation system. |

| Perhaps we could even automate putting the lid down... |

| I've already got an automated lid closer - my wife... |

"We are considering the possibilities of making Home Server available to system builders or ‘do it yourself-ers"
I hope they learned from what happened with "MediaCenter" and made the OS available on retail channels; if not I foresee troubles. |

#5, You got that 100% right! Me, too! I did read that it would be available at retail, even.
I sure hope so.... I'll be pretty steamed if this is restrocted to HP and the other large OEM's - it's rough enough out here competing against them and teh likes of Dell. |
