No I definitely meant only ACTIVE and SUPPORTED MS OS's, but by that I did mean ALL flavors. I just wanted to "bump" the topic back in the current window to see what the latest info or opinions on it might be as not all the testers have been onboard since some of the earlier February and March posts.
To me and I'm assuming the GENERAL masses, for "HOME" Server to actually penetrate the multi-PC home market it needs to work with ALL active PCs in that home. By that I mean I would as a paying customer, expect it to work with my main home PC running Vista Ultimate 64-bit, my wife’s XP 32-bit based laptop, my kids (2 PCs) school and game PCs -both running XP, my Media Center PC. If it can't work or has some limitations with ALL currently supported OS’s, especially those heavily marketed OS's then calling it HOME SERVER could for some, seem to be misleading. Akin to the Vista "Ultimate" and the "extras" it was supposed to offer for my extra $100.
So before I get side tracked with an Ultimate tangent I want to stay focused and get back to my MAIN point of suggesting that at the very least MS DOES include/invoke an installable (compatibility mode, perhaps) Admin Console connector - even if it has a somewhat scaled down feature set.
I can understand a 3rd party like Adobe, Webroot or Symantec not initially offering full support for all variants of platforms, but one would think that MS - as the creator, editor etc of the actual CODEBASE would have it covered. I am simply stepping outside the box on this one and thinking that at a "consumer" level - what will Joe Consumer expect, understand and be able to execute on the simplest of levels with his Home network.
Not flaming - just suggesting like the thread "suggests"

See? I told you there was *something* about the different versions.
Was I right about the x64 connector support coming after RTM but on it's way too? I don't remember, clearly, because I don't run the 64bit versions due to driver/sw support.
