first impression of whs

Installation of WHS Beta 2 was a breeze.  Boot from the DVD, select a couple of options, confirm that you want to format all your hard drives and then wait.  There are several reboots along the way, and some clever driver installation routines that I haven't seen before.  Before installation I had crammed all my data from the 1.2TB RAID array onto several disks attached to my main PC, and space is currently at a premium.  So, I had abou 800GB of files to transfer back to the Home Server, and I couldn't because of a bug in the software.  This is an early beta, but it was an annoyance I could have done without.  However, I have it worked out now.  I connected to the server using RDP and copied the files from the client PC straight to the share in question.  Its copying right now, and I won't know if its going to work for another few hours.  I really have to upgrade the network to Gigabit Ethernet.  And get a faster RAID card.  I promised Anna I wouldn't do that for a while though, as I've recently spent so much money on the new Vista box.
Another minor inconvenience with WHS is that there are a set of default shares that you actually cannot erase.  I'm not sure if that's by design or not, but I'm going to but it anyway.
So, first impressions?  It rocks as much as I thought it would.  It's still early in the beta, and there is a lot of room for improvement, but it's definitely going in the right direction.
