Description
HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files and printers on a home network. Connect two or more PCs running Windows 7, and HomeGroup makes it easy to automatically start sharing your music, picture, video, and document libraries with other people in your home.

More info
HomeGroup at Microsoft.com

Bump: WHS "Vail" has Homegroup support.
It's actually just a rebranded SVR2k8R2 Std. Now, time to see what makes it tick.

Well, I made some progress...
Here's my installer for Home Group feature.
All files seems to be correctly copied from Win 7, but it doesn't work... :?

Try to add "homegrouplistener" to "LocalSystemNetworkRestricted" Multi-SZ string and "homegroupprovider" to "LocalServiceNetworkRestricted" Multi-SZ string in "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost".

Hmm, seems as that Homegroup has 2 services which need to start at the same time.
