Last night I reloaded my Windows Home Server to upgrade my primary drive from a 40GB to a 120GB (and test the "primary drive failure recovery" in the process). After spending an hour with the recovery lastnight, I should not have been surprised to see the RC1 release, which requires a complete reinstall, was now available. Happier about the RC1 release than I was frustrated about the wasted CTP reload, I quickly downloaded and did a fresh install, which also requires reinstalling the connector software on all my computers. 2 hours later the only difference I can tell between RC1 and the CTP is an install DVD that is 100MB smaller, and about a half-meg larger install for the connector software. After my 3 hour CTP to RC1 odyssey, I'm content to let Home Server secure my data quietly without any love from me. At least until the final release is available.
