In exciting news, Microsoft has announced the availability of Windows Home Server Release Candidate 1. I have been using Windows Home Server betas and CTPs for a few months now and I'm a big fan. I'm currently in the process of backing up all my data files from my Windows Home Server before I upgrade to the new Release Candidate.

In related news, Gigabyte have announced "Churchill", their first DTX motherboard which will be great in a WHS box :)
