I use windows home server as well and its great. You can install the windows home connector software on your desktops and it'll do backups according to the schedule you set and keep them for however long you want. Default schedule is to run between 12am - 6am and keep 3 daily, 3 weekly, and 3 monthly. With the WHS BDBB, you can make a backup of those backups to another drive to take offsite if you wish. Also, these desktop backups are fast after the first initial backup. Only the changed clusters are backed up aftet that.
here is a doc that goes into it more.

Cost may play a roll. I have a Lenovo T60 with a busted screen. It would cost $1000 to buy just the screen. Granted, in my case I havent priced it anywhere else.
Nowhere on cnet's link or the IEBlog does it say it is a critical update,.. in other words it will auto-install. On the other hand, it says yes, it will be downloaded via automatic update service, BUT!!! the user will be given the option to install. e.g. they need to opt-in..... The IEBlog page even clearly shows screen shots of the process and you can see the "don't install" button...
Any one remember the physical keyboard locks on computers?
Our family computer (Packard Bell 486SX) had a physical lock and key system to disable the keyboard. I just popped open the case and disconnected it from the motherboard to disable it.

Boxee and Comcast made a deal to enable IPTV for their product(s). We dont know all the details of the deal but what if storage isnt on boxee servers but is instead stored out on comcast for comcast subscribers. http://broadcastengineering.com/blog/comcast-makes-encryption-deal-internet-tv-developer/

Typing this on a lenovo t60... IR is up in front of the keyboard right next to the WIFI on/off switch.
