I know this is a little late but YES. I am running it on WHS.
WHS is basically win2003sbs (small buisness server) stripped down.
you need to have it run as a service but all worked fine for my install.

Hey Thanx Mustangcoupe....
I first have to buy a machine capable of running WHS.
What specs do you have? Installation of PH goes local or through the remote software?

Im running a Dell optiplex P4 2.4 GHz 500Gb hd, 1 gb ram
I had an old box laying around once my wife got her laptop so I decided to build my own... I bought the OEM software from newegg.com I have considered replacing it with a 1U rack mount server off ebay for this and just have not gotten around to getting one... I have a second HD to add to it but there is currently a data corruption but and they are in beta with a fix for it. Once they release it I will add the second drive to the drive pool. I am also thinking of making this a sagetv server also.
This is going to be the work horse of my house!
For most of my usage I use remote desktop for most of my matinance as WHS is a truly "headless" operation does not need monitor or keyboard to run... I have one there but don't use it too much.

OK, thanx for the info, my next project will be a WHS running PH so I've got lots of work to do. 
The machine that is going to run WHS will be a new one. So i'd have to buy one with Serial and parallel ports equiped with it, going to be hard but i'll find one.

I am having a problem getting the web server to work... I am guessing it is a firewall problem. If you get it let me know what you did. I am still struggeling with it.

Is there some documentation that you can point me to that shows how to install on WHS and run PH2 as a service.
