Time Capsule
-
I bought myself a time capsule[^]. I must say that it is an amazing piece of device: 802.11n base station combined with 500 GB hard drive. 802.11n network was what I was looking for my home. It was very painful to transfer files from one machine to another machine at my home with old 11b and 11g speeds. It took me 4 hours to install VS 2008. I tried again and it installed in less than an hour. Awesome speed! One place where OSX is way ahead of Windows is in backups. Apple's backup software called time machine, rocks in my opinion. It automatically makes backs to my time capsule every hour. And the way you you restore data from backup is amazing. The UI and Animation puts anything in windows/WPF to shame. But it is not just the UI (which I don't care much), the convenience and ease by which one can recover files is in unlike any tool I have used in past. Why does simple functionality like backups has to lag so much behind in Windows? It was ok (though not as good as OSX) in Windows 2000/XP but it Vista it went in the negative direction.
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

Ever tried restoring application settings (nevermind the application installation) for something like Office? It's hell, even manually.
But who is the king of all of these folks?

the stupid System Restore lost me tons of c# code ,even if it claims that dose not affect data . a buck up did not existed ,and the only thing kept me from breaking my computer to pieces was that i would pay for the new one.

You are seriously asking this question about a company that has a guy like Steve Balmer calling the shots? You are kidding right? That guy would kill more creativity than just about anything else I could ever imagine. If I had to report under that guy I'd wear a paper sack on my head and carry an automatic weapon, complete with frags, flack and every other type of ordinance. Seriously though with Balmer that high up I just don't see Microsoft being "creative" I see them being more like elephant in a china shop where apple is more like the craftsmen that filled the china shop with it's wares.

It's a little noisy though I will not call it bad. Compared too other hard-drives, I will say it has below average noise.
