    Windows Home Server

    Is the Sideshow stuff supported by the new Windows Home Server (I'll just assume the answer would be no for Win2k, Win2k3 etc)? 

    A PC running that would be on 24/7, and so would be in a position to communicate with the remote.  I wouldn't want to have to run a Vista PC 24/7 as well...

    Hi Mal,

    Windows SideShow is a Windows Vista feature.  I'd love to see it on Home Server as well, but I don't believe it's there...

    That's a shame.  It would be much more useful as a feature of a server OS. 

    Perhaps when Vista Sideshow apps becomes more commonplace, some bright spark will come up with a way to drive them from other versions of Windows too.
