Hopefully better than the SyncToy product they put out awhile back.

it is based on shadow copy, which looks to be save while active for the IFS.

Even from a home user standpoint this doesn't really interest me. Everyone
in the room raise your hand if you have more than one or two DVD software
players on your machine... I digress.

excuse me ;) my point is the base line video quality was improved markedly.

So you have or have not used it in a corporate setting?

no, I am a programmer. tcp/ip, firewalls, active directory - way too confusing.

Glug, glug, glug. Mmm... You're right, that Koolaid _is_ good! Sorry I
couldn't resist poking fun at that statement. I just have no idea where you
come from with those comments. I won't argue that .NET coupled with Visual
Studio has some very nice quick-to-market features, but when you say it is
"premier" I am guessing you are doing an overall comparison to the System
i5, i5 OS, and supporting languages that includes the entire life cycle of
that machines existence.

no, I mean the programmer has the means, tools, whatever to write
great applications.

By that I mean Microsoft looks real good out of
the gates, but the deeper you get the more cumbersome your ROI becomes.
Sadly the same is sorta true for Java on the System i5 in _some_ cases. But
that just isn't the case when you couple System i5, i5OS and supported ILE
languages - which is what I would consider some premier programmable OS and
runtime!

the .NET assembly is very good.

Anyways, I don't think I am going to move you from your position based on
previous threads where others have tried to convince you otherwise.

you're trying to change people's views? good luck!
