Even as they're based on Windows Home Server, the EX490 and EX495 both can be administrated over the network using the current version of Microsoft's Remote Desktop Client for Mac. They can also be used directly to recover a Mac from a Time Machine backup created on the server an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/15/hp.ex490.and.ex495.home.servers/ Tue, 15 Sep 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/18/lenovo.q110.q700.d400/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0908/lenovoideacentreq100.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Lenovo this afternoon put an end to speculation and launched its IdeaCentre Q series of mini desktops as well as its first Windows Home Server. The Q110 is Lenovo's first home nettop and gets NVIDIA's Ion chipset, giving it enough power to decode 1080p in hardware as well as render reasonably modern 3D as well as accelerate some heavily optimized tasks like video encoding. Its other specs aren't... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/18/lenovo.q110.q700.d400/ Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/acer.aspire.easystore/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/aceraspireeasystore.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Acer on Thursday contributed its own more frugal entry into the home server space within the US through the Aspire easyStore Home Server AH340. Similar to HP's MediaSmart LX195, the easyStore runs on a 1.6GHz Atom to manage traffic to and from the server without the cost overhead of other processors. Acer's larger design, however, affords it four 3.5-inch drive bays that can take as much as 8TB ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/21/acer.aspire.easystore/ Thu, 21 May 2009 11:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/29/hp.mediasmart.server.gets/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0812/hp-server-28.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />HP has launched an updated home storage/media server with new Mac-specific functionality.

Unlike most such systems, the new ones are intended for home use, and are thus based on Microsoft's Windows Home Server technology. Each allows for the backup and storage of various media files on a home network, such as music and video, along with more general file types a user might need to acces... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/12/29/hp.ex485.ex487.servers/ Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/08/windows.home.server/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0809/leopard-timemachine.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Microsoft's next Windows Home Server may share some design cues from Mac OS X, a job posting by the company reveals. The firm is searching for a software engineer that would design a "slick" user interface for the networked media storage hub, with examples of the intended changes coming from other software. The device will ideally have a visual restore tool similar to Mac OS X Leopard's Time Mac... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/08/windows.home.server/ Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:00:00 GMT
