Microsoft has signed off on the final RTM build of Windows Home Server 2011. OEMs are expected to offer the first systems with WHS 2011 starting in May.

Microsoft also provided details regarding online availability. An evaluation edition of WHS 2011 will be available in early April. TechNet and MSDN subscribers will also receive the final bits at the same time.

WHS 2011 will be available in 19 languages including Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan), Chinese (Hong Kong), Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.

Microsoft has provided documentation comparing the features of WHS V1 and WHS 2011. Most notable of course is the lack of the popular Drive Extender feature that was available in WHS V1.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
