Beta of the next version of WHS (codenamed “Vail”) available for download

I’m a little late in mentioning this link from windowsteamblog.com - Wanna Peek at the Next Version of Windows Home Server? Check out the new public beta for Windows Home Server, Code Name “Vail”.

So what’s new and exciting in this next version? Although we’re still in the midst of development work (and things may change), we can say that Vail includes feature improvements in four key areas:

  • Extending media streaming outside the home or office
  • Multi-PC backup and restore
  • Simplified setup and user experience
  • Expanded development and customization tools for partners

Looks like it’s going to be an upgrade well worth having.
