Microsoft will announce on Monday the immediate availability of Windows Home Server Power Pack 1, a major functional update to the company's home server product. PP1 adds new functionality and fixes a long-time data corruption bug that briefly tarnished the product's reputation.

"This is great news for customers," Joel Sider, a senior product manager from the Windows Home Server team told me in a recent briefing. "Not only are we resolving the data corruption issue, we're also add some useful new features, such as 64-bit client support, shared folder backup on the server, and several remote access improvements.
