Windows Home Server is now available from U.S. retailers like Newegg.com and Buy.com. Prices are coming in at just under $200.
Intended to compete with networked home storage solutions that are becoming particularly popular as media servers, Windows Home Server is designed to be run on a headless server, meaning it's controlled from a network connection instead of having a keyboard, monitor, and mouse directly connected.
Although the price may seem like a bargain compared to Vista, since it's only available in an OEM version that limits the support Microsoft will provide.
If you'd prefer to buy a home server with the software already loaded, Hewlett Packard will be releasing one with Windows Home Server for $750 according to information accidentally leaked earlier in the year.
