There are a few things I am interested in seeing in WHS:

1) Support Raid 5 - I'm hoping that through some kind of advanced configuration, I can setup a Raid 5 array and actually store the majority of my music, movies, pictures, home video, etc in one single location. If ti's possible it would be nice to have some kind of email notification if there's any problems with the array

2) Support for Routing service - a WHS box would be idea for acting as the internet gateway but without some kind support for advanced routing (such as port forwarding) getting the most out of applications like skype will be tough. If the majority of the services are only going to be focused on backup, maybe call it "windows home backup server" which might actually help sell the product

3) Built in Sync functions - windows synctoy is nice but how about having sync, contrib, etc functions running from the WHS. I would like to come home, connect my digital camera, download the pictures and then have them moved automatically to the server so I can view them from any pc or the HTPC in the living room.

If important common files are shared on the server, how are these important files backed up automatically, and where?

I'm seeing alot of great questions that I would like to see answered. Some that I can already answer but one that I am truly interested in finding out:

- Will WHS be able to backup an HDD on an XBOX or XBOX360? Or will I be able to move files and folders (music, media, gamesave data) from these game console hdds onto the WHS?

   -If you're going to have a Home Server then it should work with all current Microsoft proprietary devices/softwares that are primarily used in the home.

   -There are several retailers that do not allow customers returning their XBOX360s to swap their old hard drive to keep that data. Probably there are plenty of customers also who would not want their data on their old hard drive being given away for potential privacy issues (possible wiping features, maybe even remote defragging features for 360hdd's... I'll stick to the point)

-Also if there are to be any interactivity features to Media Extenders such as the 360, it may be a great time to implement some potentially awesome corss platform LAN party hosting capabilities between PCs and xbox line game consoles...
