Windows Home Server DVD For Free
Microsoft is currently giving away free Windows Home Server DVD to try out for 120 days. This is said to be the world’s first stay-at-home server from Microsoft and they are giving it for free for 120 days to try it and experience how it works, etc. This is shipped across the world in most countries and especially in India too, you can get it delivered for free without even needing to pay the shipping charges, which otherwise they normally charge for all other trials of their products.
Just visit this page to start ordering your Free Trial DVD of Windows Home Server.

Features
* Centralized Backup - Allows backup up to 10 PCs,[6] using Single Instance Store technology to avoid multiple copies of the same file, even if that file exists on multiple PCs.[7]
* Health Monitoring - Can centrally track the health of all PCs on the network, including antivirus and firewall status.[7]
* File Sharing - Offers network shares for computers to store the files remotely, acting as a network-attached storage device. Separate categories are provided for common file types like Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos.[7] The files are indexed for fast searching.[8]
* Printer Sharing - Allows a centralized print server to handle print jobs for all users.[7]
* Shadow Copy - Takes advantage of Volume Shadow Copy Services to take point in time snapshots that allow older versions of files to be recovered.[9]
* Headless Operation - No monitor or keyboard is required to manage the device.[7] Remote administration is performed by using the Windows Home Server Console client software provided in the bundle. Also supports Remote Desktop[10] connections to the server while connected to the same LAN.[11]
* Remote Access Gateway - Allows remote access to any connected PC on the network over the Internet.[11]
* Media Streaming - Can stream media to a Xbox 360 or other devices supporting Windows Media Connect.[7]
* Data redundancy - Guards against a single drive failure by duplicating data across multiple drives.[7]
* Expandable Storage - Provides a unified single and easily expandable storage space, removing the need for drive letters.[7]
* Extensibility through Add-Ins - Add-Ins allow third-party developers to extend the features and functionality of the server. Add-Ins can be developed using the Windows Home Server SDK, to provide additional services to the client computers or work with the data already on the server. Add-Ins can also be ASP.NET applications, hosted in IIS 6 running on WHS.[8]
* Server Backup - Backs up files which are stored within shared folders on the server to an external hard drive.

Re: Windows Home Server DVD For Free
Ordering, But AFAIK, full versions come preinstalled only, retail is not the way Home Server is sold!

Re: Windows Home Server DVD For Free
I too am not sooo dumb, you *$#*$#.
Atleast it's free for 120 days, and may be it's possible to crack it and use it semi-legally.
By free I mean, free disks and not the OS.
