"Previous Version" file system support coming to Vista
Ars Technica is reporting that versioning support will be implemented in Vista at the file system level, allowing users who have System Protection (enabled by default) running to simply right-click a file to access a "Previous Versions" menu (now I know why Vista's hard drive requirements are so steep). Previous Versions will also monitor backups made of files with Vista-aware backup applications, so it will only show versions of the file made after the last backup.As usual, there could easily be privacy and security concerns among the corporate IT crowd, as Previous Versions can make copies and track versions of files on network drives as well. As icing on the cake, the term 'deleted file' might also become a thing of the past, as Previous Versions can restore files even after being removed from the recycle bin.
