Several sources report a leaked version is available (posting links is against forum rules).

Is anyone going to buy this for a Home Server replacement?  At ~$450 per license, it's an expensive home purchase.
I'm hoping that Server 2012 "Foundation" will be the eventual cost-effective version to replace Home Server 2011.

Thoughts?

Short summary:
Old way...5 copies of a 100MB file would mean 500 MB of storage space used.

New way...5 copies of a 100MB file would mean 100 MB of storage space used (5 "pointers" to the location of the "real" data).
