June 12, 2007Time Machine: Why Apple perceptually has a better handle on information retention and recoveryI have to give Apple credit. They understand how to make complex things like information retention and recovery operations seem simple with an elegant user interface. No... a SEXY user interface. Sometimes I wish Microsoft had more designers, and less computer scientists when they work on features the user feels and touches. Apple's "Time Machine" feature is just that. A way to go back in time and recover an earlier copy of a file. Microsoft has the same ability with Volume Shadow Copies, but it is in no way as sexy, and easy to use for end users. Hell, most people don't even know about the "Previous Versions" tab in the properties of files and directories, and few know how to even configure it. Apple, props to you. You have made information retention and recovery a pleasant experience for users in Leopard. To any ISV in the Microsoft ecosystem that is up for a challenge, go use the new sexy WPF in all its glory and make a better one for Vista.:) Posted by SilverStr at June 12, 2007 08:49 PM | TrackBackComments
