The new contest from Microsoft to evaluate Windows Server 2008 is offering Windows Home Server as a prize and now that we mentioned it, I thought of giving some heads up on what (I’ve heard) to be the next major upgrade for WHS.

Windows Home Serve Vail is going to be the name, rumors say, and the most important thing is that it comes with more entertainment capabilities. Before Vail is coming to the market Microsoft needs to fix a data corruption bug that has been affecting third party applications.

We hope to get more info about it soon, because right now we can only speculate.

Big announcement guys and gals. Microsoft is offering incentives to people that have the time to evaluate (evalu’08) the new Microsoft Server products that were recently released in Los Angeles. The prize is a Windows Home Server. But wait, this is not for all of us. Only 18+ years old residents of the United States with an IT or software development role will be allowed to sign up.

Go ahead and read the official rules and keep in mind that sweepstakes ends June 30, 2008.
