Two Versions of Windows Home Server

Todd Headrick also known as "todd the product planner" of the WHS team is asking what you would think if their were 2 versions of Windows Home Server. One for the “basic” household and one for the “advanced” household. If this was the case what would be the user limit for each version, as at the moment WHS can be used by up to 10 users with no more than 10 computers.

As Todd states “their are rare occasions where someone has 11 computers or 12 or 17 or ? in their home”, so leave your thoughts and feedback to be taken into consideration for the next version of Windows Home Server.

Taken from the post 10 Computers & 10 Users on the Windows Home Server Team Blog.
