CNET Seal of Approval

Nice to see an "Excellent" 8.7 out of 10 review of the HP MediaSmart Server on CNET. 

"Microsoft's Windows Home Server is the best, easiest-to-use answer to backing up and corralling all of the disparate media files in a networked home. And delivered in this petite, relatively affordable MediaSmart Server ex745 from HP, you get plenty of storage in a well-designed hardware package. We recommend this system all the way to anyone looking to take full control of their data."

This complements the 91% 5-egg reviews on NewEgg.com, 100% 5-star reviews on Amazon so far, and the many favorable reviews of Home Server we've seen from publications and consumer tech analysts, such as PC World, The New York Times and Jupiter Research. (The NY Times piece is a podcast - go to the 10 minute mark.)

Update:  another great review in the Financial Times, here.
