The only downside is that you have to login to your WHS via RDP and install Twonky Manager. Fortunately it installs the Twonky Server as a service by default, so the server will still be running once you logoff. By the way I'm really glad with my purchase. Everything works perfectly with my PS3 and all the other devices I have at home. It even works with files that didn't use to work with WMC. No idea why, it just does. :) The "WHS Addin" may be unsupported by now, but when you buy a license, you are also able to download Twonky Manager (which includes Twonky Server) and have all the features one would expect from a Media Server.

I think what's happening here is that v5.1 is a beta and therefore unsupported. The previous version *is* supported, but obviously there isn't a WHS add-in available for it. Once v5.1 hits full release, I'm sure it'll be supported.
