I use my NAS as a Backup device and also as Media streaming server (I
have a Squeezebox, Netgear 1000 and a Pixel Magic Mediabox MB200 as
playback devices)

I'm shortly due to run out of disk space, both internal and external
USB and eSATA connections, so I was considering Windows Home Server.

However, from my investigations so far, I'm not all that convinced it
will function well as a Media server. As mentioned in the Video
footage under the HP thread, Microsoft identified 12+ main features
and chose to concentrate on 2 to 3 of them. So it strikes me that the
backup features are what most users are impressed with.

It's been difficult to find information on whether WHS supports Samba,
NFS, UPnP or FTP. Most NAS boxes and Media players support.
