These people don't know much about how to set things up, or about Linux, and so I think there's definitely a gap in the market which Microsoft can exploit. They will enjoy all the extra functionality without having to get their hands dirty.

When there already free OS's out there which do similar things, such as http://www.freenas.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1. Admittedly it may not have the out-of-the-box functionality, but i would much rather have that serving up files to my network, than a paid for piece of software full of features i would never use I have to say I both like this idea, and i don’t, I like the fact that it would integrate seamelessly with all of your other MS products, although if i wanted a “home server” then I would want to be able to buy the software, and run it on older hardware, the fact that it is MS means that if they were to release a installable version of it, then it would probably be a costly alternative to linux.
