Looks like the Japanese are gearing up for a big launch of Windows Home Server on the 29th September.

This week, large posters were put up around parts of Tokyo in advance of a midnight launch of the product in Akiharbara.

    That Clevery Midi Tower is fascinating. I particularly fancy its inclusion of a DVD-RW drive (option?) and front USB along with other super specs. I want one of those.

    Isn’t bundling the OEM software with a floppy drive or hard disk illegal? I thought OEM was only meant to be sold with a new *computer* – not parts of it. That is certainly the case with normal Windows OS’s and has been for about 2 or 3 years now.
