The Windows Home Server platform has received praise from many online communities over the past few months. Microsoft's software targets families with broadband and more than two PCs, with over 60 million consumers in the global market. However, some analysts believe that the home network market is too complex for mainstream consumers, which explains why WHS has gone through the process of simplifying the user interface in two or more development cycles. Other manufacturers that plan to run on the Home Server platform include Fuji Siemens, Gateway, Iomega, Lexi, and Medion AG. However, the above-mentioned companies have not disclosed the product prices.
