whsWell that installation was faster; and look there on the right, a new image which greets you when you open the web site for remote browsing, which shows that WHS is fun for all the family;

Actually the real pain was having to backup my music before installing, as RC1 doesn't upgrade from betas and wipes the hard drive (testers did receive a bunch of warnings this was going to happen) and the trick to avoid having to use Microsoft's idea of strong passwords on my user account no longer works. You can add the user to the Remote Desktop Users group manually, but the WHS web site then tells you "You don't have a strong password. Haha, you thought you were being clever weren't you? But no, it was but a trick". Well, something like that anyway.

Nothing appears to have changed really; the installation is smoother, less reboots, no new icons that I can see. Still can't get it to play nicely with custom printer drivers (TCP/IP for my Lexmark T620 and HP's awful drivers for their All in One printer/scanner/tea maker which always insist they will only go onto XP, which is a lie, they're happily installed on Windows 2003 here.)
