Today finally sees the announcement that Windows Home Server Power Pack 2, formally known as Snoqualmie, will be released tomorrow via Windows Update. Power Pack 2 is a minor release for Windows Home Server but it is also a "must have" update to Windows Home Server!

Following last weeks post about Windows Home Server being available on both TechNet and MSDN and then the subsequent disappearance of it because Microsoft were testing, I can now announce that Windows Home Server is available on both TechNet and MSDN and will be staying there – HONEST! 🙂

This review concentrates on the latest version Perfect Disk 10 for Windows Home Server, which was released earlier this year.

Later today see’s the launch of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 browser. IE8 has been available as a beta for quite a while now, but today it’s finally moved to a released version and it is available in 25 different languages.

Further to yesterday’s post, it appears that Windows Home Server is not quite yet ready to be on TechNet and MSDN and that it was just a test of the system.

Phil over at MSWHS.com is reporting that Windows Home Server is finally available on both TechNet and MSDN.

The 1st Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 8 is now available to download and use.

Here at CES earlier this week, Microsoft announced the release of the public beta of Windows 7. You can download it today and have a play with it by going to the Windows 7 beta download site. You can also download it if you have a TechNet or MSDN subscription.
