By far the easiest install I've done in a Windows environment and I installed operating systems on many machines. I think I clicked once or twice during the entire install. The only problem I had was getting the OS to recognize my Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet adapter in the Dell SC420 machine I installed Windows Home Server on.

Getting the clients set up is a breeze as well. Just load some client software on the machine and they're set up for shared folders, and backups. Microsoft is really aiming at the consumer with this product.

It appears Microsoft is also able to reuse a long standing product and have it entered into a new market. The installation package listed Windows Small Business Server during the install. This explains why the OS allows up to 10 users. Windows Home Server is a tweaked version of SBS for the consumer.

So far it looks to be a great addition for the home network. If you have an old PC sitting around doing nothing, get ready for Windows Home Server to be released later this year. It's going to help you get control over everyone's PC without have to deal with domains, or extensive workgroup management.
