First build of "next-generation" Windows Home Server leaks

Windows Home Server, codename Vail (also referred to as WHS version 2), has been in private testing for a few months, but only now are we learning more about it, thanks to the first leak of the operating system, as first reported by Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet. Windows Home Server Vail Community Technology Preview 4 (CTP4), or build 7360, recently leaked to the Web. Like previous versions of WHS, Vail will come available on new OEM systems, and will also be sold as a standalone software package to system builders. Microsoft released WHS Power Pack 3 three months ago but it's been working on WHS version 2 at the same time.  [More...] [Comments...]
