Free online language courses
We have posted video content on this site in the past on Windows Home Server that has been available in French or German only. Now that’s fine if you can speak either of these languages, but if like me you can only speak English then I may have some information that may interest you. Mango Languages have launched Mango Beta where language learning courses are free to learn online and two of their courses are French and German. As the name suggests Mango Beta is in beta stage, but I have experienced no problems. So if you fancy learning a new language give then a try. For now au revoir or auf Wiedersehen.

Internet + WHS + Xbox
Microsoft employee Ian Thomas has details on how he is using the software TVersity to download television from the Internet to his Windows Home Server and then being able to watch it on the TV in his living room on his Xbox, where he can also view Podcasts, RSS feeds and Internet radio stations.

Can Windows Home Server be run on my SBS Network?
The short answer is yes, there is nothing in the Windows Home Server Licensing terms of use that prohibit WHS from backing up Domain Joined Machines. There is also nothing in the Small Business Server Licensing terms of use that prohibit a Windows Home Server from participating in an SBS Network. Home Server does not join the domain, but can run within the network by simply using “Pass through authentication”.
