Windows Home Server Available in the US

[NateB1]

Windows Home Server is finally available in the US! You can pick it up at Newegg.com for $190.

I've been testing this since Beta 2 and highly recommend it - it works great with an older computer (and what geek doesn't have at least one older computer lying around ;) )

Now all we need is Autopatcher for it to tweak it up properly....oh wait no. :/
