| | Homegroup I really don't get homegroups. Before Windows 7 I've shared files across the computers in my home using networking. Networking is very easy to set up. It's very easy to identify the files/folders to share via networking. And, networking doesn't restrict the files shared to only libraries. What am I missing? Why should I use Homegroup instead of standard Networking? I have a home network with four computers. Windows 7 build 7100 RC |

| | HomeGroup simplifies network sharing. Most average home users don't know the basics when it comes to NTFS or SMB shares, or best practices. HomeGroup allows people to share docs with a few clicks. It also allows for sharing between Windows Live IDs, which is still a WIP. HomeGroup - Link your Online ID and Share Files Another benefit is not having to create the same local accounts on all machines. Last edited by 7echno7im; 20 Jul 2009 at 06:09 PM.. |
