I used WHS back in June and my opinion of it is fairly in line with theirs. For a first attempt it does a really nice job though the lack of Media Center Functions is annoying. It also becomes a lot better once you start downloading the 3rd party add in's.

One other intresting tidbit....

Our only caveat here is that it will take some time for most people to figure out just what those uses are. Microsoft will be releasing a 120 day trial of WHS soon, and we'd highly recommend trying it out and discovering the variables for yourself before purchasing the software or hardware for a server; not everyone will find it useful enough to purchase. It's also worth noting that while Microsoft doesn't officially support this, as a server product WHS works particularly well in a virtual machine since there's no need for high graphical performance. A virtual machine can be a good way to go through a WHS trial without taking any other risks.
