Guh, this is what I meant. Time Machine is a piece of backup software, VSC is versioning software. These are not the same things. Please go back to backup 101.
Mac OS X already supports versioning, but just not as well as VSC; which only has a UI on the most expensive versions of Vista, and even then - it is not a regular user backup solution.
These two things are so disparate it only dumbfounds me that people can think VSC is "better" than time machine.

How is time machine NOT versioning? Vista simply has two tools to fit the same space, one for versioning, the other for backup.
There are two major differences between the two.
1) Time machine plunges you into a temporal vortex with folders cascading back to the big bang, which you can see throbbing in the background. Shadow copy is a tab in the properties dialog.
2) Time machine REQUIRES an external hard drive. Shadow Copy works on your existing one.
If you want to see the regular user backup solution for vista, it is here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/det...,
the slightly misleadingly named Windows Backup and Restore Center.

Exactly. VSC is much more advanced than Time Machine. It just doesn't sport the flying star UI.
