Nearly two months after it debuted in other countries, <A HREF="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,138231-pg,1/article.html">Microsoft's Windows Home Server software is now selling in the U.S.</A> at prices ranging from US$165 to $189. Ready-to-use servers running the new operating system, however, are still weeks away from release.
Web-based retailers such as Buy.com and Newegg.com are taking orders, and in some cases shipping, the system builder version. Newegg.com, for example, lists the OEM edition--the only package that will be sold unbundled from hardware--as in stock and priced at $189.99. Others, including Buy.com, list the OS for less, but are currently backordered.
The OEM edition has been awaited by users who beta-tested the operating system because it is the only way to upgrade their existing home-built servers. Even so, some aren't happy with the pricing.
