(Mostly) Free Windows Home Server 120-Day Trial Available
Microsoft has just made available a free trial of Windows Home Server. The 120-day evaluation disk will only cost six dollars to ship, and give you four months to see if Home Server brings you enough benefits. If it does, the full version will be completely worth whatever it costs, though I’m not sure if you can buy the license from Microsoft or if you just need to head to Newegg. Either way, if you wanted to see whether the hype is a good fit for your house, pick it up now.
What will you receive?
Windows Home Server Installation DVD
Windows Home Server Connector CD
Home Computer Restore CD
Are you ready?
This software is intended for evaluation purposes only. In order to preserve your existing data, you must backup prior to installation. The setup process for server installation will erase any existing data.

I installed the 120 day trial of WHS and I love it except that I started receiving the “your trial period has expired” messages even though the server had only been running 45 days. Now, the error messages have stopped but I cannot login to the server. The message says “wrong password” but I didn’t change the password and the server isn’t accessible via the Internet, so nobody else changed the password either. Is this a known issue? The server runs and shares files and backs up the clients, etc… but I can’t login.
