Windows Server is almost home
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Microsoft notified beta testers of the software's availability within the last 90 minutes or so. In an earlier e-mail, Microsoft warned beta testers that they would have to start fresh when moving to the RC, meaning that all backups and data shares would be wiped away.
RC testers will be able to make the release code upgrade without the same kind of hardship.
The RC is an important milestone for Windows Home Server, which Microsoft only announced in January. While the software is designed for consumers, they won't be able to purchase it at retail. Microsoft will only offer the software to OEMs and system builders so most people will get the software and the hardware together.
