Easy install, same features but without the extensive list of updates and everything seemed to go well until trying to connect wirelessly to the internet. Netgear seemed to install fine (it doesn't seem to matter which hardware you use - Ive tried) and a good signal received but no connection (!!!). Frustrated I looked on google and found numerous references to similar problems with every kind of wireless connection. Is this Micrfosoft's way of saying 'get Vista'? Perhaps it could be relabelled ' NOT FOR USE WITH WIRELESS HARDWARE ' Definitely a case of caveat emptor.

I bought the OEM disc to use on my Intel Mac also. The disc worked perfectly with no problems. I simply registered the product online with none of the problems the previous poster mentioned. I think there may be a problem if you attempt a second installation using a program like Parallels of VM Fusion as you are technically trying to register the product for a second time and this causes alarm bells to ring at Microsoft. But if you simply want to install on Bootcamp, this product is highly recommended.

Bought Vista for a new build PC. Being new build I have had no compatabilty problems with any of the components installed. I did need a few updates for some games and software but most of this was done automatically with windows updater. This should be expected with a new operating system. As previous reviews have mentioned about drivers, Vista does not have as large a driver database as you are led to believe. This is for both x32 or x64 bit versions so you may well need updates from manufacturer websites if you are upgrading to Vista on an older PC.
Also note that Vista 32 will not support anyhting above 4Gb of RAM and 3Gb or less is the recommended. With the 64bit edition you can support larger amounts of RAM up to what the mother ... Read More:

Windows Home Server is aimed at anybody with 2 or more PCs in a home network. It basically allows you to do three things:
1. Backup all your PCs
2. Act as a central repository of files
3. Allow you to access your files remotely
With minor tweaking it can also act as a printer server and host websites - it is absurdly simply to set up websites with your photos on them using a freely available addin.
Over the years I've tried various strategies for backing up and trying to remotely access files - all with little success. My experience with a WD MyBook World Edition was disappointing to say the least as the system was cumbersome, unreliable and the hard drive packed it in 18 months after purchase.
