Testimonials
“Computer data can be immeasurably valuable, yet most people leave it totally vulnerable to damage or loss. Windows Home Server is the data equivalent to a home safe. We recommend Paul McFedries’s Microsoft®Windows®Home Server Unleashed as the best first step in getting a strong hold on securing and maintaining personal data at home.”
—Professor Michael L. Kleper
Editor, The Kleper Report on Digital Publishing
Welcome to the home page of Microsoft Windows Home Server Unleashed! Windows Home Server is Microsoft's latest operating system, and it's designed to make backing up, file sharing, media streaming, and remote access easier for home network users. Windows Home Server presents a simple interface to the world, but don't be fooled: this is a complex operating system with plenty of power under the hood. To get beyond the basics and into the good stuff, you need a guide, and that's what Microsoft Windows Home Server Unleashed is designed to do.
