Windows Vista has an inbuilt undelete system based on Windows Server 2003's versioning file system, Microsoft has revealed. The technology, which is automatically switched on in Vista, will be a boon for anyone who has accidentally overwritten their PhD thesis with a BPAY receipt.

Then I guess formost will do it also.

Either way, Microsoft has copied a feature, is saying it's innovative, and then, probably will do a poor job at it. Virus deleted? I don't think so!

Where are they saying it's innovative?

This isn't just undelete. It's versioning in a sense too. Who cares if other places have had it. If it's useful to people, there is no reason they shouldn't be allowed to implement it without idiots like you accusing them of "copying".
