Windows 7 preliminary feature: Homegroup | |
|

Windows 7 Milestone 1 (build 6519) has leaked to the Internet almost a month now and one of the features that seems to be in it, caught my attention. It's the "Homegroup" feature, that was codenamed "Castle". Beta testers that have been around long enough remember this feature as left out of Windows Vista. Calvin "Long" Zheng already did all the hard work for us and dug up the following description of the "Castle" feature from the Windows “Longhorn” Pre-Release Privacy Statement In my opinion this might be the next step in Active Directory below the Windows Home Server and specifically targeted at the SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) and home environments. The technology reminds me of Groove a lot and makes my torrent-loving heart beat faster. From what I read it's a peer 2 peer based successor to the workgroup, with a twist. In contrast to a workgroup in a homegroup you can have a roaming profile. | ||
