Overview

This white paper provides an overview of HomeGroup, a new feature in Windows 7. HomeGroup takes the headache out of sharing files and printers on a home network. It is a collection of two or more computers in the home that are automatically set up for easy sharing of music, pictures, video, and document libraries, as well as any connected printers with others in your home. It also allows you to stream media to devices. An explanation of general scenarios and basic technical data is included.
