Forget Vista - Here’s a Microsoft Product You Can Actually Use.

I haven’t been impressed by a Microsoft product for a very long time. If pressed on this issue, I’d have to go way back to the release of Windows XP for the last true awe Microsoft gave me. I refuse to install Vista, but I am somewhat impressed by Microsoft Office Professional 2007.

There is a Microsoft product everyone can benefit from. It’s called Windows Home Server and it’s packed full of features you actually give a damn about. Just install Windows Home Server on a computer running on your home network, and run the set-up CD on all your PC’s, Windows mobile devices,and game consoles like Xbox 360. The software links all your machines together, and from one nifty command center enables file sharing, automated data back-ups, security features, and remote access. With this product, Microsoft does a good job of taking the critical data management and security functions of large business technology and down scaling it for home and small business use. Windows Home Server product also eliminates the need to install multiple networking applications. Take a look for yourself.
