Wow...we've had 20,000 sign-ups for evaluation of RC in less than a week! No doubt a lot of these were triggered by the many recent write ups we've seen in publications such as PC World, CNET and SmartHouse (an Australian magazine that calls Home Server "the next big thing.") I like CNET's comment: "Don't be scared, setting up Windows Home Server is simple."

Today we opened up the Windows Home Server Beta program to everybody and anybody that wants to take a look, test it, or sleep well at night knowing that their PCs are automatically being backed up every night. Sign up and you are in!!

Don't be the last household with a broadband connection that has 2 or more PCs to take this great software for a spin. It is simple to setup, easy to use, and provides powerful capabilities including automated PC backup, easily expandable centralized storage ("no more drive letters"), remote access to your home server for downloading and uploading files, and remote access to your PCs too with your own personalized internet domain name.
We are getting close to shipping, so sign up for the beta now before it is too late.....

That's right...we've reached another important product milestone! The highly anticipated Windows Home Server Release Candidate is available today. The product team has been logging long hours and doing heroic work to finalize this new and improved build.
The community has been chomping at the bit for RC. And while with Beta 2 and CTP we accepted applicants into the beta program in stages, we'll make the RC software available to all 100,000+ beta program applicants asap, as well as all new sign ups.
Participants in the Code2Fame Challenge will no doubt be installing RC right away, as all software and hardware add-in submissions must be based on RC or later.
Come and get it. Next stop RTM!
