Digital Home Thoughts: Windows Home Server Add-Ins Starting to Appear

"I don't know how many of you plan to jump on Windows Home Server when it is released, but anyone who decides to give the system a spin will probably want to customize it to their liking. Microsoft understands that one of Windows Home Server's major selling points is the ability to handle add-ins, and the company is currently hosting a contest to see who can develop the most "useful, cool, easy-to-use, and solidly performing value-add to Windows Home Server." While the competition doesn't end until August 25, 2007, many developers have already created nifty utilities for the server, but how can you find them?"

The list of Windows Home Server add-ins is growing, and there are some cool ones so far that will do things such as upload a photo folder to Flickr automatically, manage and add torrents, allow your Tivo to access all the media on the server, and other cool add-ins. Having just installed the RTM version of Windows Home Server myself, I'm really looking forward to expanding the functionality with added software.
