The site has five case study videos to watch as well as five matching documents to download and read, and as it states on the site:
“Don’t be fooled by the name. Windows Home Server was designed as a solution that is as functional in a small office setting as it is in your home…”

The Home Server Show website is reporting that users of the 64 bit version of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (Build 7100) are having a problem connecting their machine to their Windows Home Server.

But with this list the meaning of life should become clearer 🙂
