Today, the Home Server engineering team signed off the release version of WHS 2011. An exciting milestone which now starts the process to make it available for
purchase.
Affordable and easy-to-use, Windows Home Server 2011 is the ideal solution to help families keep their important digital files and data automatically backed up, organized,
and accessible from virtually anywhere.
