      I have’nt tried yet. i have to purchase MS Office to deploy on web server. Home or Student edition is cheaper. but I have a doubt that such applications are designed for Windows Home editions.

        unfortunately, it is free just for 30 days, and more over you can not activate the live version of the os, you will have to uninstall/format/re-install and then use the paid version of it. Not worth it, if you are planning to buy, just buy… else leave it!

      They need to drop the spec requirements I think. NAS’s like the DNS-323 are ever popular as home servers, but are extremely limmited in memory/processor speed. Linux seems to still be the way to go for home servers.
