Last night, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Bill Gates announced Windows Home Server, an new version of Windows focused on multi-PC households.<\/p>\n

From the Microsoft press-release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

During his keynote address, Gates announced Windows Home Server, a new software product for families with multiple PCs that want to connect their home computers, digital devices and printers to help easily store, protect and share their rapidly expanding collections of digital content and entertainment. Later this year, HP plans to deliver the HP MediaSmart Server, powered by Windows Home Server.<\/em><\/p>\n

Windows Home Server was created to help consumers deal with the explosion in digital content. For example, 273 billion digital images were captured worldwide in 2006. Today, more than 40 million homes in the U.S. have more than one PC and one in three homes in the U.S. has an MP3 player. Windows Home Server automatically backs up home PCs and provides a central location for storing a family\u2019s photographs, music, videos and documents. Using a personalized Windows Live\u2122 Internet address, people will be able to remotely access digital content on Windows Home Server when they are away from home. At CES, companies such as AMD, Inventec Corp. and Quanta Computer Inc. will demonstrate hardware reference designs for Windows Home Server. Windows Home Server will also serve as a platform for independent software vendors to build innovative products for the digital home.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
