Windows 7 to be called Windows 7!

Unless you’ve been on another planet for the last year then you properly know that the codename for the next version of Windows is called “Windows 7”. And that name is going to stick because yesterday it was announced on the Windows Vista Blog that “Windows 7” will also be the final official name of Vista’s (version 6.0) successor.

Windows 7
And what has this got to do with Windows Home Server you may ask?

As you are properly aware WHS is currently based on the Windows 2003 code base, and like any Microsoft product It is more than likely that through revisions and updates that Windows Home Server v2 or even v3 will be based on the “Windows 7” code.

WHS Initialization Issue

Tranquil PC are reporting that a number of customers  are recently reporting installation issues with Windows Home Server.

Initialisation Issue

During the installation process the install sticks at around the 18% or 33% stages and although the screen asks you not to re-boot the server doing so is the only way to get past the pause.

However British based Tranquil PC have come up with an alternative which works better, but only from a fresh install. Their initialization tip is available in PDF format from here.
