    BTW, to my mind, the killer app in a business environment is the automatic
    file versioning feature in longhorn. This protects people against fat finger
    mistakes, and geez, any business has its fair share of fat head, fat finger
    and dumb blond types. This is the only feature from VMS that I am longing
    for...
