It's a very nice and cool product, I hope they actually get some advertising behind a good product for Joe Consumer for once though so the people who need this (those who have lots of home movies, music, pics, etc, but DO NOT know how to setup a proper backup server and backup method) know it's out there and how easy it is.
Love the remote administration and ability to share files out to anyone with internet from your own home connection.
Excellent requirements, even a PC that was new 4 years ago can do well with this, so long as you have USB 2.0, good headless design, wakes up clients to be backed up, autoconfiguration for most firewall/routers, easy drive addition/expansion to the pool.
Not the most thourough review though - "Operating Systems Supported Windows Vista (any) Windows XP (any with SP2)"
Uhh...there is no Vista x64 support for clients (at least not in the RC) - that is misleading. Hopefully this will be fixed, or rather already is, in RTM.
