Backups and media sharing is a breeze. I bought a cheap $300 Compaq computer that had Vista on it and removed it to install the OEM version of Home Server, installed it and I'm enjoying access to my media from any computer in the world and the ability to access any computer on my network that is setup for remote access. It's just brilliant.; Like this Reply to this comment

Most people are finding that both the PP1 download and the HP update are a relatively easy install.; Like this Reply to this comment
