Today, the Windows Home Server team will release a new update for Windows Home Server software. This is a scheduled update - part of the ongoing process of continually enhancing the customer experience with Windows Home Server. The new functionality will be downloaded via Windows Update and made available to existing Windows Home Server customers.
Details are available here, but the main benefit of the update is that it will improve the remote access experience for Windows Home Server users by providing them with a “trusted SSL certificate” for their home servers. That means customers will be able to access their home server from outside the home more seamlessly, without any security warnings. The Windows Home Server team worked closely with Windows Live Domains and GoDaddy, a leading provider of Web domain addresses, to provide the certificate for the homeserver.com web pages customers use for remote access.
In addition, this month’s update provides a new “Delete All” button to let users delete all home computer backups that are stored on the home server, as well as a few improvements to the Shared Folders and Server Storage components of Windows Home Server.

1)SSL update
2)"Delete All" update
3)Shared Folders update
But since Microsoft lives in the land of "becasue we say so" where WGA is defeating piracy and Steve Balmer is not insane, three updates counts as one update. Welcome to the wonderful world of Microsoft

???? You're complaining about it only being called one update? It IS one update, but multiple things are fixed. We are not running on Windows 203978098209908980980 or OSX.11232131232312312321312 because it would be stupid if any company did that.
This applies to the PS3 2.0 update which had multiple updates / fixes, the new Xbox 360 fall update which will include more thing "just one thing". It applies to any software updates, which a company will only have you download 1 file instead of thousands. You actually want to do something like that? How inefficient.
good to hear that info, thanks...I just think they could've had it available at release date. Had I known this ahead of time I wouldn't have bought it when i did.
