The coolest thing about Windows 7 (peanut butter) and Windows Home Server (chocolate) is that (with PP3), recordings can be automatically backed up. This works seamlessly, even when slinging content from the WHS, through a Win 7 MC PC, and out to an Xbox 360 in Extender mode. Pure brilliance!

I really like the way WHS w/ PP3 beta and Win 7 work together for media sharing/streaming, and how WHS does nightly back-ups of all my clients on my network.

Two things:
1) I am looking forward to SP3 where my Win7 libraries will automatically include the WHS shares. I’ve been anxiously awaiting that integration of the two products.
2) The other thing I look forward to is the media center integration. Short of having a WHS that is also a Media Center PC, I can now have a Win7 Media Center PC that can store its (backed up and duplicated) content on the WHS.
