Windows Home Server, officially available August 27
If there’s one computing server product every enthusiast and home-user should be excited about, that would not be Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition for Itanium-Based Systems..
instead it should be Windows Home
Server - codename “Q”. Last month, WHS was released to manufacturing
aiming for distribution “in the next couple of months” and retail
availability “this fall”. The official availability date is now most
likely Monday, August 27th 2007.
On the Microsoft Support Lifecycle website, a listing for
Windows Home Server states the general availability date as 8/27/2007,
and mainstream support retirement date as 10/9/2012. This however does
not suggest OEM products such as those from HP will ship then - still
expected to come “fall” (September).
In this case, general availability most likely refers to the
DVD package for system builders and other OEM channels. If you’re one
of those people who want to build your own Home Server, then you should
consider bugging your local computer shop for a copy from August 27.
Alternatively start your own OEM business.
For those who are looking for a more ‘buy-one-and-it-works’
package, hold on to your horses and DVDRip movies for just a little bit
longer as complete systems are still on-track for a September release.
