WHS looks to solve a huge problem for me. If I only had one box I really cared about in my house, then a simple RAID array would work fine. I think WHS is really geared toward those of us that have more than one PC in our home that we want backed up. How many times have you been on PC A and wanted to get something you saved on PC B? Sure, you can always create shares, but what if PC B is asleep? This to me looks like a simple solution for families with more than one PC. I'm looking forward to it.

You should read up on NAS. All of the PCs in the house would share NAS in addition to their internal storage. Then, a scheduled task running rsync or rsnapshot to copy critical files and folders (like "My Documents") to the NAS is trivial to set up. Then PC A never has to worry about PC B. Not to mention "wake on LAN".
