Microsoft Home Server and Vista Media Center

Will Home server support Media Center via an Xbox 360 extender? Currently the
Xbox 360 does not support network shares. That is if you already have a
Windows 2003 server in your home and are sharing out your multimedia to your
Media Center the Xbox 360 being used as a Media Center extender will not be
able to see the files shared off of your server. My question is will
Microsoft patch the Xbox 360 so that it will be allowed to see media shared
off of Home Server through the Media Center interface. I know that is will
probably support Media sharing via Media Player but what about the Media
Center.

No, there is no Media Center integration, but you will be able to stream
directly from the WHS machine to your Xbox 360.
