At the beginning of March we provided the option for you to rate each of the Commercial Software and Community Add-In’s for Windows Home Server - it’s time for a progress report on how the polls are running. Thanks to those of you who have voted.
Please visit the threads in the Software for Windows Home Server & the Community Add-Ins sections of the WeGotServed forums for each of these products and cast your vote for your favourite software to extend your WHS experience.
