One Year On Would you Still Recommend WHS?
Website Paraesthesia asks the question “One year on is Windows Home Server all I thought it would be?”
The post goes through the decent parts of WHS as well as the not so decent parts. The author of the post concludes the article by asking, would I still recommend a Windows Home Server?
You can find the answer here.

General feedback, but cool to read your articles and im following you on twitter. Keep up the good work 🙂
I love my WHS. Gigabit network and I store my DVDs as ISO images (4gb max size created using DVD Shrink) and have run then on my WHS using NTdaemon on my WIN 7 MCE for a virtual DVD drive and it works very well over a GB NIC.
I use FreeFileSync 3.7 (FreeFileSync is an Open-Source folder comparison and synchronization tool) to instead of sync toy (never worked well for me).
Now I transfer my favorite DVD iso images on to a 1 TB drive on my WIN 7 MCE. I do this since my WHS only runs a night. My attitude, is why have two computers running 24 x 7, it just costs money and wears out the parts sooner.
I have run the DVD iso images over the GB NIC and they run just as well as if they are running off of the WIN 7 MCE.
My guess is that a 100Mbit NIC is not fast enough.
Love WHS!!!!!!!
I am building a Vail test bed next week.
