Having helped get PCs into most American's homes, Bill Gates now wants
people to bring in a server.

As part of his keynote address Sunday at the annual Consumer Electronics
Show, Gates is showing off Windows Home Server--a consumer device to
serve as a central storage place for digital photos, music and other media.
The first products are due out later this year from Hewlett-Packard and
others. The goal is to get devices that can cost less than $500.

In the first of a two-part interview, Microsoft's chairman talks with CNET
News.com about why the average person wants a server, why they won't
need a degree in computer science to run it and what hurdles remain
before consumers reach the true digital home.

Q: One of the things you are talking about at CES is a new home server?
Why does the average home need a server?

Gates: If you have got multiple PCs, then you want files that are available
all the time no matter which PCs are turned on or off, and you'd also like to
have a server that when you just add storage it automatically takes
advantage of that. You don't have to think about drive names or moving
files around

In fact you get redundancy so that even if you have physical failures you
have recoverability.
