Home Server a NAS Device with a Brain
The Windows Home Server Team Blog has a great 10 point chart highlighting the differences between a Home Server and a network attached storage device (NAS for short). After reading through the list, you may agree with one reviewer who called Home Server a "NAS device with a brain."
The chart is available here.

They forgot “Just pure awesome!” 😛
Nice table but the entries mainly mention additional things that WHS can do beside being NAS.
The two Real issues concerning NAS usage per-se are Not mentioned.
1. Almost all stand alone NAS’ Hard Drives can not use NTFS format .
2. WHS with Optimized Giga Network card is much faster than any of the comparable NAS’ even if they are rated Giga.
