    Sounds promising; in particular I would like to see Media Center ontop of the WHS as an optional feature. Currently there is a Media Center system standalone and a WHS system standalone (that’s 2 systems which could technically be combined into a single Entertainment / Storage / Backup, well HOME SERVER that is).

    There has been allot of speculation about WHS V2 being released this year, to be honest I can’t see it. With the data bug and power pack still on the table along with pushing WHS adoption, releasing WHS V2 this year is a tad premature.

    Regards the integration of Media Center on the server its self, wont happen any time soon. Reason I think why is different platforms, hardware drivers etc Really can’t see the tv tuner companies making drivers for WHS. Would be nice though.
