I had a backup program which Vista made me remove from my system before it
would install. Now I have to suffer with this Vista pseudo-backup - no
compression, no ability to choose files. I have to sit there for hours
putting in new disks because it has to back up everything. Microsoft's
marketing machine is out of touch with reality - how dare they say they are
offering something that forces people to lose functionality they depend on.
