Giving the Mac Airbook a run for its money... HP Voodoo Envy

Windows Home Server Power Pack Beta 1

 

The Home Server team released the new Power Pack and it has some nice improvements.image

First it resolved one of my backup issues with our primary Media Center PC where it was not able to backup the Hot-Swap drive.  Bug fixes are good.

It also now lets you multi-select files and download them from the server as a compressed zip.  Yippie!  It even shows thumbnails for photo's (but not for videos). 

The new Home Connect software that runs on each PC in the home now has a self update feature...self maintaining software is a great Father's day gift...Thanks MS...Less "IT Support Dad", more time for cool technology.
