With Windows Home Server, Microsoft aims to bring order to consumers' messy digital lives--and to define a new product category.

Company Chairman Bill Gates launched the personal server push during his keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show on Sunday, saying that partner Hewlett-Packard plans to offer an HP MediaSmart Server based on the design this fall.

The Windows Home Server is for households that want to share storage among multiple PCs or Xboxes game consoles. It will provide automatic backup, easier storage expansion and connectivity among different devices, including Zune media players, Gates said.
