Charles Torre and I paid a visit to the Windows Home Server team to get the latest on what’s up with the SDK they released, what it means to consumers, what Add-In’s they’re playing with now, and what we can expect from the team down the road. (Check out Charles’ video on Channel 9 here)
While I was there, they pulled out some new hardware for Home Server. The first (at 11:00 in) is the Epson Endeavor, based on an Atom CPU (low power, very quiet) using 2.5″ laptop hard drives. Next is reference hardware from VIA (at 14:30 in the video) called the Antigo, based on a Pico-ITX motherboard. This one is extremely small sizing up smaller than a Western Digital My Book external hard drive. This one is without a doubt going to be my replacement Home Server.
