Windows "After several months of silence, Microsoft last month finally revealed some concrete information about Windows Vista Service Pack 1, which I translated into my Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Revealed showcase. If you haven't read that article, please do so now: This preview, which is based off of more recent beta code and an in-depth discussion with various people working on SP1 at Microsoft, builds off of that article, but provides more information and detail. Windows Vista SP1, finally, is a known quantity."

You can still do both. Implicit versioning is not the same thing as backups. People are excited about Time Machine, which is the big thing in the upcomming tiger. Shadow Copy is the same thing, only it has been around since server 2k3, it doesnt require an external HD, and it is a tab in the properties instead of plunging you into a temporal vortex.

Yup. On Linux I use LVM snapshots *and* backups. It is very convenient to have a /snapshot directory to quickly pull out older copies of files.

Shadow Copy on Vista has been similarly helpful.
