The article states "The first step to automating your backups with Windows Hoe Server..."

I won't even go there.

Thanks for the heads up.
I have set up my home network as a domain and not a workgroup. Will this work in that environment.

It will work, but with the WHS acting as a stand-alone server. You will need to synchronize user accounts (user name and passwords) to keep things simple. It works - the hassle could be if you have the password expire set to a relatively low number on the domain.

It'll probably sell well. I expect its sleek appearance and soon-to-be familiar Vista-like interface will appeal.
This may be the way homes are going, but surely there's a better, existing, Linux solution out there already? Mind you, whatever Linux afficionados say, Linux is still, well, a bit techie (geeky) for the average non-technical person.
Talikng of Vista and going off topic... Vista and Office 2007... what a sucky combo.

I've been using Windows Vista and Office 2007 for a few months now. It takes some getting used to, but I have not had any major problems and have no glaring complaints.

I know its the way of the world but I just don't know why Microsoft have made the GUI so different. Of course, I'll get Vista and Office 2003... I have to, I will need to support them.
Microsoft seem to be getting their act together with releases that are actually pretty near fully developed, which is nice... but ever heard the expression:
"If it aint broke don't fix it"?
I feel I have to virtually start learning Office again! To that end I've dumped 2003 at home now and I've got Open Office... less of a learning curve than Office 2007.
Also, the system overheads are way lower.
I'm sure there'll be a major plus in 2007 being so XML based though.

The "printer-friendly" version is not so friendly right now. I'll look into it.

Thanks for the heads up.
