ENT News | at | by Mike

Windows Home Server, Microsoft's first-ever server for home use, gets its first update today. WHS is designed to be an entry-level server for home users with multiple computers. It provides a central repository for documents, photos and other data, with centralized backup and management. It's made to be simple to set up and operate.

WHS, first announced to the world last January, was released to manufacturing on July 16. There was no official "launch" of the product; since WHS is available through system builders, it's up to the OEMs to determine when WHS servers will be commercially available.
