Microsoft Windows Home Server – Taking Beta Applicants

Posted by on Feb 22, 2007 | 9 Comments

Microsoft is taking beta applications for their Windows Home Server operating system. Requirements are:

“Who is an ideal candidate to participate in the Windows Home Server Beta 2 program (English-only version)?

People with:

  • Two or more PCs
  • A broadband connection and router
  • A spare PC or server that can be dedicated to Windows Home Server software”

Candidates need to fill out a survey forum on Microsoft’s site in order to apply. And not every application is accepted.

Good Luck.

I have been testing the new operating system for about 3 weeks. But because of NDA, I am unable to provide any information until the beta goes public. I can say though that those familiar with server operating systems, will find the Home Version easy to use and configure. :-)

    Yeah could be. But most people go for what they have seen on tv and what every on is on about and the “hype”.

      I’d estimate that the iPad is the only tablet PC that has lived up to its hype.

    Hey, for half the price of an iPad, this could be the next android: Everyone can afford one, but it still doesn’t match Apple’s standard bearing device.

      I’m still waiting for Amazon to crush the Android landscape with their own Android-driven device – the next Kindle?

    The only reason I have a Kindle today is because I won it in a contest. ;)

    I have a Nook Color and love it. Don’t want or need anything else.

    I bought a honeycomb rooted Nook Color. It has issues. Some apps don’t work on it. I’m thinking about loading Froyo 2.2 on it.
