Microsoft's partners are chomping at the bit to get their hands on Windows Home Server, but some feel it's going to make its biggest initial splash with tech-savvy users. Due to launch this fall, Windows Home Server connects multiple PCs in the same household, and stores, manages, backs up and protects digital audio, video and photos.
In addition to centralized storage and backup, Windows Home Server also lets users access their digital content remotely, and is built on the secure platform of Windows Server 2003, says Joel Sider, senior product manager in the Windows Home Server group at Microsoft. Although Windows Home Server is designed to be easy to install and use, the software fits well into the toolbox of home integrators, who can wrap it into a smart home solution along with home automation and networking technologies, Sider noted. David Stinner, president of US itek Group, a system builder in Buffalo, N.Y., expects Windows Home Server to attract more interest from business users than with consumers, at least initially.

Is it really going to be called WHS 2008? I thought they where jus staying with WHS because it is actually based on Windows 2003 server and didn't want to confuse it with W2K8 Server
I'm actually in the beta and haven't had much time to test but the last time i played with it it was good to say the least. Makes me actually want to buy one of those slick looking machines to put somewhere in the corner access via my laptop
here is a scan of the disk

So unless they went and dropped "Home" from the product name and forgot to announce it, you just posted the wrong image.
