Windows Home Server

  • Microsoft's long-anticipated home server software will first appear on a Hewlett-Packard box sometime in the second half of 2007.
  • On Sunday, Bill Gates, Microsoft's chairman announced Windows Home Server during a presentation at CES, the massive trade show in Las Vegas this week. "This is for homes where you've got either multiple PCs or Xboxes, the case where you want to have your storage available at all times to the different devices," said Gates.
  • HP will brand it as the HP MediaSmart Server, and it's the Windows Home Server software with their enhancements that will run on top of that.
  • HP's MediaSmart Server is to be powered by a 1.8-GHz 64 bit Sempron processor from Advanced Micro Devices, includes four hard drive bays and four USB ports for printer or external storage connections, and comes in a box about 10 inches high by 5.5 wide by 9 deep.
