Windows Home Server for under $100

  • Artigo

The Windows Home Server team is a very customer focused team. We listen to our community of current customers and future customers to understand the hot points and wishes. Some wishes take longer to make come true, while others can happen sooner rather than later.

When we first made Windows Home Server available in the System Builder channel, there was some debate about the right price for the software. Here are a few of the quotes from the Windows Home Server Community Forums:

· “$180.00 is a steep price for this OEM software”

· “I thought $180.00 was a bit steep, but I did it and I'm not suffering from buyer's remorse.”

· “MS should be selling OEM WHS for $99.”

The System Builder channel version of Windows Home Server has enabled lots of do-it-yourselfers to build their own home server with their desired hardware specifications. Our Windows Home Server hardware partners (HP, Fujitsu-Siemens, Tranquil, Epson) offer a range of solutions for people that do not want to build their own home servers. But, the home server team knows that there are quite a few people ("enthusiasts", "do-it-yourselfers", etc.) that will take on the support burden that comes with the System Builder version of Windows Home Server to build their own custom rig.

With our recent price drop - I was excited to see NewEgg offering Windows Home Server Power Pack 1 for $99.99. The debate is over.
