CNet’s Ina Fried has a good review of this feature here.  The bottom line is that it’s not yet consumer friendly but has potential.  If the final version of Windows 7 makes this a well known, easy to use feature, it could be the beginning of people using their home PC as personal media server and extender on a broader basis.
