That screenshot (although they say it's probably fake) looks alot like OSX....

So where can I download this beta?

Well since we are on the discussion of new Windows OS. Anyone try the new Windows Home Server 08? I acquired a copy of it and I read articles on wikipedia. You only need a processor, ram, and harddrive. Nothing else, and the whole OS you can operate remotely. The server doesn't even need a monitor, keyboard or mouse.

It can also support 10 computers, and they are going to add support for x64 hardware and even Mac Timemachine. It came out back in July of 07, I guess it never took off that well.

Ok, Tibs, I don't know why I even thought I could assume you knew what you were talking about. What you read about is Windows Home Server "Power Pack 1". It is a minor, free update to existing home servers that adds some new features and refines a few things that already exist in WHS.

This is not a new version, nor is it called Windows Home Server '08. You need to understand that Wikipedia is not always a reliable source of information and that you should better try to understand what you're reading rather than just take it for what is printed. The best piece of advice I can give you, and anyone else, is to always question everything!

Anyways, when in doubt, try to find the original source for something. Here is a post from the WHS team blog about Power Pack 1 that gives the true scope of what this update is. http://blogs.technet.com/homeserver/archive/2008/01/06/windows-home-server-power-pack-1.aspx

I really would like to try 08, but I don't have a 80gb drive just sitting around.

There is no '08 version! It is essentially WHS 1.0 Service Pack 1. If you want to just try out the software, it won't give you a true trial, but you could always install the trial version in VMWare or Virtual PC. You can download a 120 day trial version from the WHS website at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/windowshomeserver/eval.mspx
