No, not Vail, Colorado. Instead, it's "Vail", the codename behind Windows Home Server r2, which is now being released in Open Beta.
I know Fly uses it at home and swears by it. How he has discussed it, it sounds awesome. I run a w2k3 server domain at my home (for studying, mostly, but also because I know 2k3 server well, so my home network is pretty well set), but from what Fly has told me, and what I have read, Home Server is actually a pretty big deal for people looking to enhance their home computing experience. The drive combining and automated backup components are pretty damn sexy too.
Here's the link on ARS. Check it out. They have a link in the article to where you can download the Beta.
