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. :)- Marked as answer by HBV Saturday, November 22, 2008 8:00 PM
