Ed Bott has an extremely detailed review of Microsoft Home Server at ZDNet. I admit that I was one of the people who wondered what the market for this product was, until its capacities were spelled out in detail -- one of them being seamless no-hassle household-wide backup. Yeah, I'd go for that.
The best part is that it's not being sold as a software product -- it's a standalone device like Apple's AppleTV, with everything needed available right out of the box. I would love to get one of these into my own household and get it running, just to see what's possible ... although right now I have a lot of other things competing for my attention, sadly.
