If you are interested in testing the new Windows Home Server 2011 release from Microsoft I highly recommend it. Yes, it’s the dreaded screen shot post! Lots of screen shots of the process.

I would like to extend a Happy New Year’s wish to everyone that reads and listens to the The Home Server Show. I hope 2011 is fruitful for us all. 2010 was a great year for the Home Server community and this site but alas a sad ending with the demise of Drive Extender and [...]
