Ooooh I've just got an email from Uncle Bill - I've been accepted on the beta download for Windows Home Server  49% download to go.......
I wonder how much like Vista it will be? Can't wait to find out what soft/hardware won't work with it!! lol

I currently have Vista running on vmware - my initial feeling was very nice, until I actually started to try and use the damn thing - then found out about quite a lot of non-compatible programs!!
At work we use Novell Netware as our main servers, and as yet there is no working Client32 for Vista to allow us to connect to the server! Novell have brought out a beta version of the client, but it doesn't work properly

| i just tried it with a 60gb hdd but it didnt work either - then realised that vmware had setup the hdd as SCSI so i've now changed it to IDE and it appears to be installing now! |
