For most consumers, Windows 8 will be an ideal choice as the center of a home network, and I can imagine users keeping a single desktop PC around just for this purpose, adding storage as needed. "So I had 10 years worth of digital photos, plenty of video footage, some music, plus Gigas of documents from tax records to academic work, all of them on a bunch of CDs, DVDs and USB disks of all makes and ages. I wanted everything organized, accessible readily by any of the devices on my home network (Mac, PCs and tablet), and accessible from any remote place with internet. Also I wanted some protection against hardware failure. And for privacy did not want all my data stored in the cloud." Amazon Review: http://tinyurl.com/mj8db52
