Almost 9TB of WHS goodness

[Lord Orwell]

Not one byte of porn on it.

how many bytes are there then?

The square root of 01000101 is 00001000 something...

that was too high brow. I don't think anyone else got it.

I am a little disappointed, that it doesn't appear they will include Media Center functionality directly in the home server build, which means I still have to use both my home server AND my Win7 box to use my xbox 360 as a media extender on my big screen.

can't you use WHS as a dlna server? Xbox 360 can connect to those. If it doesn't include the functionality natively, you can install ps3server or something similar. If you were insisting on the media center interface you are out of luck, but don't forget that isn't the only method of connecting to a pc. Media player 12 is dlna compliant, and media player 11 is most likely since i can use it to stream on my own network.

Just out of interest, what are the copyright implications of ripping your DVDs? I was under the impression that it's illegal, even if they're only for your own personal use.

It might only be the case here in the UK, I guess.

it's not legal, unless you (and i'm not kidding) leave the dvd in the drive. There is actually a disk carousel you can buy for a network setup, and it isn't cheap.
