page works fine here. you need a windows live id to sign in/download but if you don't have one, that page should still load ok...

(edit: i see you have a hotmail account in your sig, that'll do)

i take it you have to be part of the beta programme and get e-mailed a serial then

as i have neither, i guess thats why its taking me to "page cannot be found" as im not enlisted in the Home Server Beta programme.

Yes, MS selected testers in the beta stage, so if you havn't got a serial you can't download the RC.

Is it any good? I have a serial from ages ago, and then forgot about it.

if you got it via connect, you can request a new serial

basically, its windows server 2003, with a frontend for networking newcomers, and a security centre monitor for all pc's connected to it (a pain for me, as i disable SC on my pc'), it has a vista feel to it too

not tested this new one yet, last one i used i think was beta1
