Additionally, the application can automatically download add-ins to the home server and includes a streamlined installation process.

With the exploding popularity of the Windows Home Server platform, both new add-ins and updated add-ins are being introduced to the community on a near daily basis. Add-in Central helps keep track of them all by providing a list of newly released and newly updated add-ins in one location. Once an add-in has been installed on the home server, Add-in Central notifies the user whenever an update is available for an installed add-in.
