Article on Windows Home Server

PC Magazine has a quick article on Windows Home Server - something I've been testing out at home for a bit.  I personally like it.  The WiFi limitation is more based upon reliability of a link than anything else.  WiFi still is not reliable (just do a search on 3945ABG & Vista - which is all Intel's issues).  It's Windows 2003 Server underneath it all, which never was meant to be WiFi friendly - so drivers are always the issue.

The price is projected at about $500 - which is inline with what I would expect for the device - a price point that people consider the device as opposed to a full blown PC/Server. 

There's more to Home Server than just network based files - auto backup & synchronization, etc.
