Ever since I first heard about Windows Home Server (WHS) I've been intrigued. After reading reviews like this one at Ars Technica I've decided that I need to try this server out. The review does a good job of describing what WHS is and is not...

Age of Empires III - Trial Version
I've been playing with the trial version of the upcoming Age of Empires III and I must say that I'm impressed. I kind of fell off the RTS bandwagon when my friends managed to dominate me in Age of Empires II, StarCraft, and Warcraft III....
