In the meantime here’s some links to articles and blog posts I’ve collected so far. Engadget news.com news.com …Continue reading →

Windows Home Server prototype Originally uploaded by ckindel. I am writing this from the Windows Home Server blogger’s lounge in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. Bill Gates just finished up his CES 2007 keynote where the product I have been slaving over for the last 3 years was finally formally announced to the world!I can’t even begin to describe how excited I am that the word is finally out. Microsoft is not known for …Continue reading →
