Sign Up to Become a Windows Home Server Product Tester

As probably very few of you were aware of, Beta 2 of Microsoft’s Windows Home Server software has been released. To date, most of the testing has been done internally, but there’s now word – coming from the Windows Home Server Team Blog – that anyone with a compatible hardware setup and knowledge in installing and configuring a Windows Server are welcome to participate. It appears that this may be the only time anyone will ever get a chance to use the software on a non-integrated, pre-built system since it doesn’t appear (at least at this time) that Windows Home Server is going to be sold as a stand-alone software product.

Hardware Requirements:
“Beta 2 participants will also need a dedicated machine for Home Server – Pentium 4, 512 MB RAM and two or more internal hard drives with at least 300 GB primary system hard drive is recommended – and at least 2 client PCs and a broadband connection.”
