    If I put an i Mac on my home network that has a WHS server will I be able to read, copy and edit the contents of the Shared Folders from the Home Server?

      Hi,
      As WHS uses standard NTFS file system, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to use Shared Folders and Remote Desktop from a Mac.
      A quick search suggests that there are a number of people already doing so.

      Good luck,

      Colin

        to be a little more specific than Colin:

        WHS shares are standard SMB file shares. So an iMac should be able to see/manipulate files stored in them.
        I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
