Microsoft's Windows Home Server got a boost this week with the release of Power Pack 2, which became available to Microsoft Developer Network subscribers on Monday.

PP2 fixes "known issues" in the server, according to Microsoft, and adds enhancements for small office/home office users. It includes more than 100 add-ons addressing antivirus protection, system performance, server security and more, according to the updated product Web site.

WHS was released in July 2007 and marketed as "the world's first stay-at-home server." The offering, however, has not been without bugs and criticism. Several early problems were related to data corruption, mostly associated with saving Microsoft applications.
