I have been following Windows Home Server for quite some time now and I am absolutely convinced that it would be an amazing addition to home networks. One drawback with it though is that prices are rather steep for a central backup solution. From what I have read, Acer EasyStore is nearing a good price-point but its popularity and competition would be better if the prices were pushed further. The price is the biggest problem when compared to the fast and easy NAS RAID or HDD solutions. Other than that, Windows Home Server is very good.
