I have run WHS v1 for several years as well as a WHS2011 server throughout the beta stages for comparison; auto backups of all our 8 PC's for great peace of mind from both versions. WHS2011 works great for me, it's 64-bit and handles what goes on behind the scenes faster. Added bonus is that you can stream your music, tv recordings, films and photos to wherever you or family members happen to be outside home in acceptable quality. It's also much easier to customise than v1 if you want to use e.g. your family website domain instead of the usual xxxx.homeserver.com, or a different web background.
The lacking DriveExtender bemoaned by many v1 fans is not a problem if you're used to tidying up your files once in a while and just keep an eye out for how filled your disks are. If you really miss it that much, then there are at least three add-ins out there that add this functionality.
One minor issue is that 64-bit drivers for older printers etc. may be difficult to find. At the current price around £45, given the fact you actually get a Microsoft Server 2011 version with a home user-friendly interface, what's not to like?

For anyone wanting to have their PCs backed up automatically in a household, and to share their media inside and (securely) outside, this is a great product which, in the most part, builds on the great work done in WHS v1.
As another WHS v1 user of many years, I moved to 2011 when it came out and have not looked back. Yes, it does not have the drive extender technology - but although this was a good solution for adding storage when TB disks were unheard of --- and the extender technology was not without some fairly significant restrictions and some big issues to start with. For most users these days the capsacity is not really an issue - and as is stated in other reviews, there are at least three add-in products coming out that provide this functionality.
Having a full 64-bit server OS (which is Windows Server 2008 R2 with many of the features such as DNS, DHCP, etc. etc. usable for those wanting to do more with it) and a greatly improved remote media (and remote terminal) experience is worth the current limitations.

The main reason for buying this was I wanted the ability to stream my ever increasing video collection to my TV (a Sony Bravia) Which this software does perfectly.
Backing up networked Computers is as easy as clicking a few settings then let the software do its work, the interface is easy to use and well laid out. Having the ability to set up web access is a nice touch as you can stream Music, films and photo's any where there is an Internet connection.
The one thing I would say is if you are currently running WHSV1 this software doesn't add anything new, but if like me you are wanting to build a server this software is perfect.

It's not bad really...
I was a bit skeptical about WHS2011, having used the previous version which I didn't think much of and Windows Server 2003, which caused too much admin for a small SoHo setup. Read more

useless software
Really useless software. Better to use amahi server. It's only use is as a backup software but you have to dedicate a whole drive just for the backups.
