I read about it, and I'm still wondering exactly why I should be terribly excited.

I could have swore I made a new thread about this yesterday, hmm. Anyway, I think it would be useful if the software isn't outrageously expensive, and it will handle DRM somehow. I've never been able to get music that I buy to work on anything other than the computer I downloaded it to. If the Home Server will somehow manage to let all my computers access the music, or whatever other licensed material I have, that would be great. I think we as users need to be able to purchase the software as a standalone product, and not be forced to buy something from HP.

You might as well Ad-Hoc everything if your at home anyway, but a cheap 2k3 server will be interesting to some.

"Microsoft Corp. is taking tough measures to find out who leaked a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Home Server to The Hotfix.net blog after the software preview was posted on the site by a user named "Richard" soon after it was released to a small group of testers.
In a e-mail to testers obtained by the IDG News Service, Kevin Beares, the Windows Home Server community lead at Microsoft, wrote to Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) whose name contain "Richard" that they will not have access to the beta until he finds out who leaked the software to The Hotfix.net site."
