WHS Updates/HP Delay - More Info
Todd has more on the Windows Home Server updates due in September, though not much more: HP has decided to include these first software updates in their MediaSmart Server.

30. August 2007
Interesting post today from Mary-Jo following up on HP’s decision to delay the release of the HP MediaSmart Server. Interesting for a few reasons: 1. The rationale behind the delay came from Steve van Roekel at Microsoft, not from HP - surely it was HP’s decision to delay? HP are seemingly very quiet on the matter. 2. [...]

30. August 2007
Berlin’s IFA is the world’s largest consumer electronics exhibition. Bigger than CES, bigger than CeBIT and this year it’s where the Windows Home Server roadshow kicks into gear.

[...]

30. August 2007
Looks like HP have been politely invited to take another look at the software they’ll be bundling with Windows Home Server in their new MediaSmart servers. A report on SmallNetBuilder is stating that HP have delayed releasing the server until the “holiday period” to make their software more “user-friendly” to general consumers. Reading between the lines, [...]
