The virtualization component in this version needed to be installed after OS install and didn't change too much from the CTP (community technology preview). The December re-release of RC1 provided integrated Hyper-V so that the the virtualization components are installed during the OS installation. The new version of Hyper-V provides some additional features such as being able to import/export VMs and also supports multiple network cards per VM. This review looks at the installation of the RC1 and Hyper-V releases and provides observations."

KingofSpades writes: I have a spare LCD monitor lying around. I know many old laptops end up being reincarnated in digital picture frames, but I don't have a spare computer. What do you suggest as a good after life for this monitor (with VGA connector) ? PS: I've already thought of turning it into a TV by adding a DVB-T->VGA adapter. I find these things are really expensive (typically $150).

The enclosure will be able to accept up to 3 SATA drives (SATA I and SATA II) supporting transfer rates up to 3 Gbps. The main use for the drive array will be for external storage for the Book Server running Windows Home Server . This will allow the Book Server to retain it's look while allowing easily accessible storage and expandability."

The package comes with an OEM Server install disk, Windows Home Server Connector software and the Home Computer Restore CD. Reinstall of the server is a simple task, but you have to make sure you prepare in advance."
