Windows Home Server

BTW,  if you guys out there have not tested or tried Microsoft's Windows Home Server.  You really should give it a look.   The most compelling feature to me is daily backups of all of the computers in my house(except the Linux ones).   All my windows computers backed up daily and able to be reinstalled bare metal from the previous night's backup.  I know that on two occasions this would have saved my butt with my wife's computer in the last year.

If you own an Xbox 360 it has the ability to share all your Photos, Music and Videos to your Xbox 360.  Now it does not currently support DivX or Xvid codecs,  but it may soon.   So you are limited to WMV(Windows Media Video) for the time being on video front.   Music it will play MP3's or unprotected WMA files.
