Screenshots of Windows Home Server

Surely some of you somewhere in the darkest corner of the room (well, or in the basement) is a file server. But Microsoft wants to change everything with the release of its new OS Windows Home Server . Windows Home Server will provide central file storage, the ability to share media files, automatically backup and create system restore points for all computers in your home network. Windows Home Server RC1 was released recently, which can be downloaded by beta testers (you can join too). Actually, as it is not difficult to guess, something will be discussed about it ...

Windows Home Server is the operating system that you need to install on your PC, used as a server. This computer does not have to have a monitor, keyboard and mouse - they are only needed during the OS installation - you can control the server remotely from other home computers with installed client software. Yes, and spread this OS, it seems, will be already installed with the new PC, so that problems should arise. To remotely connect to the server

This is how Windows Home Server looks through the client:

It should be noted that the creation of a server from scratch under the control of conventional Windows is much more complicated than in Windows Home Server. But in this barrel of honey, of course, there is a fly in the ointment: Windows Home Server is only suitable if all your home PCs are running under Windows. That is, you can connect to the Home Server from Mac only if Windows is installed in Boot Camp.
