Running Windows Server at home

jcatcw writes: Why should anyone consider running a server at home? According to Serdar Yegulalp, there are some good reasons to do so: sharing a printer to more machines that Windows XP or Vista will support; sharing a network connection to more machines ..., sharing files and folders, providing space for backups, or supporting server-level applications (for example, SQL Server). One could choose a server-flavor of Windows (more money, more options), some Linux distro (getting easier but still there's the driver problem), or soon Windows Home Server (WHS). Why opt for WHS when it comes out? Cost and a feature mix geared more to home users than other server versions.
