The home needs a traffic cop

  • [アーティクル]

So says Glenn Derene in his weekly column in Popular Mechanics about the HP MediaSmart and Windows Home Server.  He says everyone will have a home server in 10 years because "in ten years everything that will benefit from having a microchip inside will have a microchip inside" and something's gotta tie it all together. 

For those a bit ahead of the 10 year curve, Gordon Laing at IT Week in the UK wrote up a nice guidance piece on how to build the ultimate home media network, including description of how Home Server would fit in for storing, sharing and protecting media.

    Popular Mechanics is right..$700-800 WHS would be a deal breaker for most.  Especially when NAS products are now pretty common place below $500.  I think $299-$499 is the price point WHS needs to be in be a huge success. The ultimate home media network is still constrained by not being able to centralize your DRM licenses for home PCs.  The company that figures out how to centralize licenses on a home network and be able to issue temporary licenses to home PCs as they acess protected content will be king of media servers in my book.
