Anyone got Windows Home server or know enough about it ?

was going to buy a HP media server.....
http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/hp-mediasmart-server-ex475/4505-3118_7-32736208.html
BUT.... decided to load Win Home Server on my existing desktop

It seems very good and a very useable interface to use as a media server
you can remote access the server or any pc on the network via the web or client software
very simple backups and complete system backup
share files over web with family n friends
etc...... etc.......

I know you can do all this through xp and add-ons
but..... not as simple and dedicated software

anyway.... my question is
if anyone has installed this ?
does this work over wireless ?
can you still get drivers for graphics and wireless etc ?
can i still use it for web and e-mail ?
do you think nero and dvd converting software will still work on it ?

because i want to install it on my main pc to test before buying a dedicated server like this bargain one !

I Have ordered a new hard drive to install it on and will let you all know how well it runs next week.....

It was reviewed in The Register a couple of weeks ago and got slated.
