I cant believe nobody else loves the name Vail.

I see nothing special with that name.

Winter Park.

It's a shorter drive from Lakewood.

Windows Home Server Winter Park doesn't have the same jingle.

I am pretty excited about WHS ability to be a fax gateway so I can leave my i7 rigs turned off unless im using them. I have no idea how to use WHS though.

Vail = fail:d

Was the only reason behind that because they rhymed or do you actually have a reason for it to be 'fail'?

Neither did I until I installed it.

I'm currently trolling craigslist for a pile of HDs to put in my WHS build... used what I was going to for a spur of the moment HTPC build this weekend... It's only money though right?

Will this version allow you use of a non-wired network connection?

Haha I understand that


....I am not putting yourself as suspect but....I really hope those folks on craigslist adequately formatted those HDs (zeroing at the least....)

it's great for backup,, since still beta.
