sounds cool. Now are they going to make it XP compliant, rather than windows 3.1 compliant?

(Some highlights - shortcut keys that work, modern appearance, dialogue boxes that don't look like something out of 1992, etc....) Sounds like the same old obsolete piece of junk.

I'm not really fussed about the Windows 3.1 appearance, although there is no way MS is going to release a new product looking like that.

What I'm disappointed with is that it looks as though VSS2005 isn't going to store its repository in SQL Server, and its configuration in XML.

Anyone who has ever tried to restore a corrupted VSS6 repository cares about reliability more than GUI.

sure stability is important. But vss really doesn't have a lot going for it, and I'm not sure why they don't replace it altogher.
