Over the last few weeks I have been working with Marcel Nouwens', the developer of the WHS uTorrent Add-In, to update my guide to installing uTorrent as a service on WHS. The updated guide incorporates the use of a a nice little tool created by Marcel called AnyServiceInstaller, that simplifies the creation of the Windows Service, and a simple guide to installing the uTorrent Add-In as an extra option for controlling uTorrent.

I just came across this wonderful nugget of information on Mess.be, it appears there is a  Windows Live package available for Symbian S60 v3 phones, which of course includes the Nokia N95 itself.

As I've been waiting for this exact product I promptly downloaded, installed and had a quick play with this application and my first impression is 'Wow'.

Here are the some of the features as listed on Mess.be:

One of the features of Windows Home Server (WHS) that was introduced in the Consumer Technology Preview (CTP) is Add-Ins, WHS specific applications that run via the WHS Console. Unfortunately due to the many issues with the CTP build that I experienced I didn't really get a chance to look into the Add-Ins, but now that the Release Candidate (RC) is out I've made sure to have a play.

So far I have had a quick look at two of the Add-Ins, the two that I could see myself using; Whiist and an unofficial uTorrent Add-In.

The Windows Home Server (WHS) Release Candidate (RC) is available for download as of this morning. I started the download this morning before leaving for work and expect it to be finished well before I get home tonight.

Yup, Suzanne has invited me to Popfly. Thank you Suzanne.

I checked my email this morning before heading of to work and I was greeted that wonderful email. To be honest I was a bit dubious about it's legitimacy at first as it was sent from an obscure Hotmail address, genuine it was.

 One of the first things I did after completing my Windows Home Server (WHS) Beta 2 installation was look into ways to make it my complete always on computer solution; one of the major requirements was for it to run a BitTorrent client. I had always used my personal computer to download torrents overnight, but as the point of installing a WHS machine was to enable all other computers to be off overnight the WHS machine had to take over this job.

I got a nice surprise when I checked my email, it looks like the Windows Home Server Team have released the latest version; Windows Home Server CTP.

I've been using Windows Home Server (WHS) Beta 2 for a few months now and I can definitely say that it is up there with Windows Media Center Edition as one the top OS variants from Microsoft.
