So this is why shadow copy is running even when the data cannot be recovered
(Basic/Home Edition). This also explains why Vista is so slow. It
is 'gathering some evidence' all the time. Deletion, which is amazingly slow,
was blamed on DRM, but apparently it's something else altogether.
How about Vista's spyware features? (phoning Redmond with heaps of
information).
Microsoft really dropped the ball on this one. The more time goes by, the more
people discover, and the uglier this vision (Vista) looks.
