I’ve NEVER<\/strong><\/u> been as excited about a Microsoft announcement as\u00c2\u00a0I am about this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Charlie, I’d more than like to test this – I’d LOVE to……\u00c2\u00a0I think I’d be a perfect example of what you need to test it – data syncing using a combination of Foldershare<\/a> and SyncToy<\/a> and a bunch of batch files \/ ftp’s etc.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Music \/ Photo’s \/ Documents etc. on 3\u00c2\u00a0Laptops and\u00c2\u00a04 PC’s, Firewire attached disks with loads of storage and multiple copies of all my data – I’ve probably got in the region of\u00c2\u00a0half a terabyte\u00c2\u00a0of backups dotted around my house (and with my parents for offsite storage)\u00c2\u00a0– all being updated (at least) once a day (if not in real-time) and\u00c2\u00a0weekly \/ monthly archives I’ve got for a final worst-case rollback…<\/p>\n

Please, please, please can I it? I’ll test any hardware you like – it doesn’t need to be the HP kit – although it’s rather nice and might just have the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) that I’ve been looking for – the heat \/ noise \/ power use\u00c2\u00a0combo that my current strategy has is something of a problem on the WAF front – it’s not very popular – but\u00c2\u00a0probably not a Divorcable Offense<\/a> like losing all of it!!<\/p>\n

The Xbox360 is coming soon to complete the setup – and one of these to go with it would be perfect – it might just justify the 360 – anything that makes it easy to show off the wedding photo’s whilst streaming the music to go with them\u00c2\u00a0would be considered a “Good Thing” TM<\/font><\/p>\n

The ideas that <\/font>Rick has<\/font><\/a> are excellent and to have voiced them a year ago is visionary, I have to agree with him that they could have done <\/font>more<\/font><\/a>\u00c2\u00a0– but for version 1.0 it’s looking pretty good!<\/font><\/p>\n

So, if there’s anyone out there from the Windows Home Server team that wants to send me some test kit – I’d be more than happy to give it a trial run?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
