A detailed post on Microsoft’s Engineering Windows 7 blog explains what HomeGroup — the new networking interface for Windows 7 which aims to make it easier to share printers, storage and media without hassle in a home environment — hopes to achieve. Given my experience with networking in Windows 7 to date, I’m a little sceptical of HomeGroup’s promises, but it’s a worthwhile read if you’re a Windows household sharing multiple machines.

There’ll be a longer piece on my Windows 7 experiences later this week — but suffice to say that the Network & Sharing Center crashing the very first time I opened it was not a good start!

Found one great thing with “homegroup” if you make a change to your router or network you cannot upload photos to websites ( Including Facebook) such a wonderful addition to the MS family it is (NOT!!)
