I personally use Strongspace. Its a secure file storage solution which is accessible with a web interface or sftp and even rsync. Since the storage is built upon ZFS, it allows for some nifty tricks as multiple backups and even revisions. And did I mention that they use GiB? I mean, that has to be turn on for you folks.
Here is a list of plans on offer, how you can put it to good use and some FAQs. Check it out!
I think why most people are frustrated about this project is because its such a piece of crap. The "have-nots" of the world deserve something better than a hand-crank. The deserve something wonderful as Mac OS.
But Negroponte's intention has never been to provide the best. Its always been going for the lowest common denominator. And for that he deserves all the criticisms.
I don't question India's capabilities especially in Space technology. Right now theyr the most sought after nation for launching satellites even beating Boeing's rockets by being more cost-effective and structurally sound (remember those rockets that blew off..they were from Boeing). But i question the need.. America got to moon 30 years ago and the whole surface has more or less been mapped. India can make no "significant" contribution to any moon research. I think the answer lies in India's want to be a superpower. Oly two countries have attempted Lunar landings (USA and Russia) and I hear Japan is planning to land something by 2003. Also it may even be a cover up for advancement of rocket technology for ICBM's. May be India is using this Lunar coverage for boosting their defense capabilities.. Possibilities are far reaching if India and ISRO achieve their stated goal in 5 years..the capabilities are there and it doesn't sound outlandish coming from an organization that has produced concrete results in the recent past. regards, sun10384

You can always rely on M$FT to produce buggy software and you can always depend on them for delayed patches.
