This will make a difference for the roll out of WHSs to my customers' low income properties and computer labs. Typically low income properties where free Internet is provided have a third of their units using computers and providing WHSs on donated equipment for every ten computers can help them avoid catastrophic expenses if something goes wrong. Non-profits that do not use a WHS for their business network now have no excuse. Low priced adequate servers are now very muich available on Ebay for use as WHSs. This is good news.

With the forthcoming 64 bit WHS software, sales of older version 32 bit stock will be very slow, if not dead. So, good business sense would dictate that now is the time to move old version inventory off the shelves so the vendors don't get stuck with it.I, for one, am anxiously waiting for the new 64 bit Version 2, with all of its touted improvements.

I'm going to need to build a second WHS machine shortly..... Lower is better ;-) I’ll have to see what Newegg . com will drop it to after MS institutes this price reduction.
