WRONG!!! I just lost more than 160 songs and several other files, mostly
important for my work (I am a DJ and event-organizer)!! I moved them to an
external drive, move reported "complete", and then I proceeded to the "remove
safely" procedure.. Upon receiving the "now it's safe to remove the USB
device" message, I disconnected the external-HD (since Vista ASSURED me it is
SAFE to remove the device!!)

After that, those files were reported corrupted!! Plugging the external-HD
to my Vista-operated laptop again, I received the message that I have to fix
this drive, because at the last session I unplugged it BEFORE data-moving was
finished!! what tha! After running the Vista-"fixing" program, those files
were deleted by this program, and they are nowhere to be found now!!!

I am SERIOUSLY thinking about sueing Microsoft, I have witnesses of the
incident! All my work, and pressing projects are significantly "damaged" from
what happened...
