Windows Home Server Children’s Book Now For Sale On Amazon

Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?“, the funny fake children’s book about Windows Home Server, is now available for sale on Amazon.com. For just $5.95, and eligible for free shipping in large enough orders, this book (which I talked about in December) is a pretty funny addition to any Microsoft fanboy’s bookshelf. I just wonder if it is at all useful as an actual children’s book.

The reviews on Amazon are pretty funny, with reviewers coming up with funny other books in the series, like:

  • The Little Server that Occasionally Couldn’t
  • Grim Server Tales
  • Blue Screen and Spam
  • 1000100111001010100101 and Other Favorites
  • Oh, The Porn Sites You’ll Visit!
  • Sydney Sims Likes to Run Bob Desktop
  • When FlightSim Does Not Work
  • Rover the dog says “SYN/ACK!
  • How to be the Best at Firewall Configuration (The Boy’s Book)
  • Big, Bad Bill And The Blue Screen of Death

Turns out Microsoft was giving this away at their CES booth, so it’s a real shame I missed it. I might just have to pay the six bucks for the giveaway book, just for the good laugh.
