I did see the stuff about Windows Home Server and I was appropriately impressed - it seems Microsoft can get some things right even if Vista has ended up boosting XP sales as people 'upgrade' from Vista.<br/><br/>Home Server has the potential to make people's home networks useful for more than just accessing the appropriate tubes. The only issue I see is that the Windows box seems to hook up with only Microsoft's stuff. Lame. Good call rolocroz.

Home Server has the potential to make people’s home networks useful for more than just accessing the appropriate tubes. The only issue I see is that the Windows box seems to hook up with only Microsoft’s stuff. Lame.

It seems like a really cool (and well-done) product that eliminates the need for the hypothetical headless Linux box you're talking about.<br/><br/>Btw: I'd argue that even XP is still miles better than the Ubuntu desktop experience. I tried using Ubuntu exclusively for a week or two, then switched back full time after realizing that I wasn't gaining anything from the increased headache. Have you heard about Windows Home Server?

Btw: I’d argue that even XP is still miles better than the Ubuntu desktop experience. I tried using Ubuntu exclusively for a week or two, then switched back full time after realizing that I wasn’t gaining anything from the increased headache.
