More info from Paul Thurrot -
http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/whs_preview.asp apparently confirming that:
"Microsoft will make WHS available in two ways: Bundled with new WHS hardware and software-only, the latter so that enthusiasts can install the system on the hardware of their choice."
I'm looking forward to it 'cos like many here, I have about 15 HDDs in my cupboard totalling about 1TB plus an assortment of PSUs, mobos and CPUs. So based on the recommended system specs, I may actually be able use most of it to set up at least one WHS - especially the hdds because (they say) the drives don't have to match to form an array.
So I guess for those (like me) who have no desire to mess with Linux, and with a nine (9) Windows PC wired/wireless + 360 network at home, I don't care if it introduces another raid standard or won't talk to Linux boxes, if it will work with what's already in place it seems likely it will provide me with simple & expandable server option which I've been missing until now.
