Berlin’s IFA is the world’s largest consumer electronics exhibition. Bigger than CES, bigger than CeBIT and this year it’s where the Windows Home Server roadshow kicks into gear. (To Charlie’s comment re: German football, at this point I should confess that I was at Wembley last week to see the Germans beat England 2-1. Gutted is not the word. But having been at the World Cup over in Germany last summer, I can say it’s a brilliant country in which to watch football. Watch out though for the Weissbier, it’s lethal :-))

Microsoft today offered a press preview of several of the new Windows Home Server systems hitting the market later this year, and I’m delighted to say, we had a couple of friends of the site there who have provided some great photos of the new hardware.

Whilst we were expecting to see the Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo Home Server and HP MediaSmart systems on display, along with a debut showing of Medion’s Home Server, I was surprised to see a couple of new partners show off their systems at the event.

The photos you’re about to see have come from Sebastian Kuback from winfuture.de – they have a full photo gallery, as well as videos from the event which are well worth checking out. You can brush up on your German whilst you’re there too (hint: Google Translate is your friend). Thanks to Sebastian for sending these images over for us.
