Windows Home Server is slated to be available in "the second half of 2007." That leaves a lot of room for precise timing but definitely puts it into play before the holiday season. Unofficially, sources say they expect to see units on the shelf from HP by late summer. Pricing information isn't yet available, but expect the most significant price differences to reflect the amount of storage capacity in the server.

For my part, now that Home Server is installed on my network, it's not going to be unplugged.
