Ken Fisher, on Ars Technica, has written about the new “Previous Versions” feature in Windows Vista. This feature allows you to roll back to a previous version of a file.Â
Huzzah!
My advice? Ignore Ken’s “Security Concerns”, and embrace this concept. Available on VAX/VMS in the late 1970′s, this is one of the most useful enhancements to the file system you will ever experience. It’s taken Microsoft 25 years to get around to doing it, but thank goodness it’s here.
