Apple Boot Camp 3.1 Update: Windows 7 Support Added
I have been running WHS on an older machine since it came out and it has reliably backed up my network of computers at home (4 of them) ever since. If you have more than a couple of computers at home it is the best backup system in my opinion.
PowerPack3 for WHS updates Windows 7 compatability and continues to allow the daily back up of our machines which are all running Windows 7 RC.
