This would be a great feature if its implemented. Backup over the internet only if there is some kind of encryption (SSL?) Choice of Admin console(s), ie basic, advanced, expert mode. OR ability to hide unwantedunneeded tabs. Ability to set delete timeday for database cleanup (not just static for Sun morning).

What i would like to highlight in my opinion is the usage of multicore proc. and the raid configuration. HDDs still make me feel i will loose the data with a bad move. Safeguarding the data is an optimum goal for any OS or hardware vendor Matt Gallant above mentioned a thorough summary suggestions and i share most of his ideas.

Don't get me wrong, I love windows Home Server the way it is now. But as always, even the best products can use a little improvement. I think that everything I would like to see added or fixed are realistic suggestions, although maybe some of them would only find their way onto a an "ultimate edition". I would gladly pay the additional cost to get these features. First off better hardware support. --Support for 2+ Ethernet ports for better streaming bandwidth --Integrated support for raid configurations --64 bit(more memory support) --I would like to see support for a tv tuner on the server to stream and record live TV. --Better use of multicore processors --Ability to add/use a larger quantity of storage A few improvements to the software could be made as well --Microsoft security essentials for WHS would be a good idea --Built in "over the web" media streaming could make it a much more attractive product. --Keep the simple operation, but add the option of an advanced control panel --Zune marketplace and subscription management built in, with direct downloads. --Backup for the XBox 360 --Built in web-mail client --Better "LAN" media streaming --A built in way to "share" or "connect" with family and friends that also have a WHS device With even just half of these items added to the already incredible product, there would be too few excuses to NOT have a WHS device. Please Microsoft, continue to pay attention to what the consumers want to see. Windows 7 is the best Windows ever, because of the effective use of user feedback and suggestions. Keep it up Guys and Gals. Besides the much needed (and obvious) UI update, there are a few things that the next version of WHS needs to be up to par.

I think that everything I would like to see added or fixed are realistic suggestions, although maybe some of them would only find their way onto a an "ultimate edition".

First off better hardware support.
–Support for 2+ Ethernet ports for better streaming bandwidth
–Integrated support for raid configurations
–64 bit(more memory support)
–I would like to see support for a tv tuner on the server to stream and record live TV.
–Better use of multicore processors
–Ability to add/use a larger quantity of storage

A few improvements to the software could be made as well
–Microsoft security essentials for WHS would be a good idea
–Built in "over the web" media streaming could make it a much more attractive product.
–Keep the simple operation, but add the option of an advanced control panel
–Zune marketplace and subscription management built in, with direct downloads.
–Backup for the XBox 360
–Built in web-mail client
–Better "LAN" media streaming
–A built in way to "share" or "connect" with family and friends that also have a WHS device

With even just half of these items added to the already incredible product, there would be too few excuses to NOT have a WHS device. Please Microsoft, continue to pay attention to what the consumers want to see. Windows 7 is the best Windows ever, because of the effective use of user feedback and suggestions.

When using the connector software, it should ask you if you want this computer to use the roaming profile and then automatically redirect your desktop, start menu, quicklinks, etc to the server.

If you want to do that, implement a VPN and it will be encrypted properly to allow for safe backup right now on your WHS.
