This is the perhaps the “ultimate” CE appliance on the market.  It has been years since HP has been able to “pierce the veil” re penetration into the consumer software market, and ironically they have done it with a piece of hardware.  The bundle of software in this product is a new high water mark for HP and it is truly useful and AMAZING!.  However the challenge is getting this into the hands of John Q public and out of the realm of hobbyist and geeks.  As a side note, and potential REDUX, If existing A/V folks embrace this platform whole heartily this could potentially be their bridging technology into this brave new PC centric world.  Ironically the leap of faith will be - what platform do they integrate it into to display the content?  Hmmmm… And ironically in the same breathe, this platform will be the entry point for PC based service companies to get into the AV space (or maybe this become the UBER Geek squad offering).  And hmmm… what will they use to get content on this system into the current A/V systems?  Eitherway, adoption will all depend upon education, evangelism and a smooth roll out.  If the message does not get out there then it will never get uptake.  As a for instance, Best Buy should immediately host WHS and VMC in the magnolia show room and then have PC’s in the computer department coupled to the WHS in the magnolia show room.  Sales folks from either department should be allowed to free “pierce that veil” and roam from Magnolia to the PC department to demonstrate the coupling of the technologies and bridging power of the HP WHS server…  Hmmmmm …. Imagine that….
