I Beta tested WHS and was 100% unimpressed with it. There isn’t anything there you can’t get from another OS and/or product. I didn’t even understand the rational behind the offering. First, most folks don’t need or want a home server. Second, any OS you want to use is fine, you don’t need a “server OS”. Windows XP or better yet Linux will do just fine. Oh, and note to the author of the article… No it isn’t a joke, just another attempt by you-know-who to separate your money from your wallet.
