It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it

I'm happy I found this review. I've been using Windows Home server for a while now and I'm happy with it. Still, it's good for home use. At work we need something better so we prefer a Linux server.

@MichaelQ

The Mac will be able to see all the shared folders as they are just network shares so yes. Backup works as you can backup the Mac to one of the shares. Also streaming as it's based on UPnP

Perhaps this may be a silly question, but:

Can you put a Mac on a WHS network? Would you get all the advantages? (i.e. shared folders, streaming, back up [with Time Machine], etc?

How would you set this up?

Thanks for any help!

Where in the world can you buy a PC that ships default with a 40gb hard drive? I didn't even know they made those anymore...

The system drive is a 20GB partition. On my WHS I have 14.9GB free out of the 20.

WHS speeds can drop to as bad as between 1Mbits/s to 7Mbits/s which as you can imagine may disappoint you heavily especially if your on a 1 Gigabit network!

Yeah, WHS is one of the best recent MS releases, especially after the mixed reaction to Vista. The close collaboration of MS with third party vendors means that those programs ought to work right out of the box and integrate nicely into WHS. For eg, Diskeeper, and excellent defragmenter in it's own right snaps right into the WHS console, and makes defragging very easy and painless. Overall, an excellent effort by MS and I hope this carries over to Vienna/7/whatever the next version of Windows is called.

Considering that many PCs ship with 40GB by default, this 20GB screams "Im bloatware"

Sigh. It's like software vendors and hardware vendors are in cahoots to make us spend on bigger, faster and nastier upgrades

@Jalaj

The installation of WHS uses up 20GB - you can see my storage breakdown in bottom right of the first screenhot - http://www.connectedinterne...

(WHS itself only takes up about 20GB)

Is that a typo... 20GB ?

Microsoft usual offering not bad system for home use. UNIX system is more reliable, but Windows easy for setup and not required a lot of time

Now that's comprehensive. Far more entertaining and informative than what I get at pcmag.com
