Designing Spaces is an award winning home improvement television program that is featured on the TLC and WE networks in the United States. A show I really need to watch more often to get ideas on how to improve the US test lab of WGS (my home office)! My wife basically refuses to enter into the uncharted territory of “my” room. Yes!
Anyway, one show *I* intend not to miss is an upcoming episode in April featuring Window Home Server. From Nicole Berett via the Microsoft WHS blog comes this preview story.
One month ago, the Windows Home Server team filmed a 10-minute feature story for the national TV show Designing Spaces entitled “Innovations for the Connected Family, Solutions for Managing and Protecting Your Media.” Designing Spaces, currently in its sixth season, recently ran its 100th episode. The show’s innovative topics and expert advice continue to attract a sophisticated audience of homeowners and do-it-yourself enthusiasts. This was filmed to educate families and home office users about Windows Home Server.
The segment will feature Senior Product Manager, Mark Pendergrast, who provided an excellent overview and short demos of the product. Then, to illustrate Mark’s points, we filmed one of our Seattle-based customers, Jim and Cindy Combs (who were a part of the original beta program) talking about their use of — and love for — the product. The Combs’ are huge fans and generously gave up a workday to film for us. Their story is powerful because it not only shows how average families can use Windows Home Server, but how small/home-based businesses can benefit as well. Cindy talked about how she uses Windows Home Server to run her PR/marketing company out of her home office.
Clicking on the link above will take you Nicole’s article where she has a couple of videos of the events that occurred during filming. There is also a show schedule at the end of the article . The 2 premier showings are as follows:
| STATION | DATE | DAY | TIME |
| WE | 4/9/2010 | FRIDAY | 7:00AM |
| TLC | 4/11/2010 | SUNDAY | 7:30AM |
My home office is quite the disaster and needs a makeover very badly. Maybe I will get a few pointers from this show??? Regardless of my trials and tribulations, it will be nice to see what kind of marketing exposure WHS will get on this show. Everyone involved with WHS knows that consumer education is critical to the continued growth and acceptance of this operating system!
