I seem to remember something called Cairo that was making news back in the mid-90s, which had a feature list similar to what we now know as Time Machine - on OS X. MS still hasn't come up with such a functionality.
I see you are unfamiliar with the "Previous Versions Client" or "Volume Shadow Copy". The technology was first introduced with the release of Windows XP, released in October, 2001.
Apple's Time Machine was released in October, 2007, six years later. Obviously Microsoft used H. G. Wells' Time Machine to steal Apple's Time Machine.
Name a large city where people in the nearby area don't refer to it as "the city".
Philadelphia. If you're going somewhere in Philadelphia you refer to where you're going (i.e. Kensington for drugs, center city for tourism, south philly for cheesesteaks, etc.). "The City" is New York City.
Of course the reality is that just about everyone could get hit by a bus and within 2 months their names will be forgotten and the company will be just fine.
I've had the opposite experience. The (WDS) deployment process makes a lot more sense to me than RIS, the network stack improvements will be worthwhile once Vista/7 gets broad client deployment (see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Enterprise/Data_Center/App_Networking/extmsftw2k8vistacisco.pdf for Cisco's take). Shoot, the TS Gateway alone is worth the cost of admission if you're a Windows shop and have users who need to access their desktops. Multi-site clustering is interesting too, although we're not using clustering now.
I like Server 2008 so much I run it on my laptop. (MSDN subscription makes the licensing cost irrelevant for me.)
It's probably not worth it to upgrade all your boxes from 2003 to 2008, but for new server deployments in a Windows shop, I'd recommend it.
Some sex crust is so bad it's inedible too.
If you allow SSH access from the wide internet and you allow passwords, you are probably still vulnerable.
Really, just use SSH with private/public keys and you'll be okay.
Aren't private/public keys just long passwords?

They should make the camera car look like a spider.
I was on the apple bricking patch for a while, it really helped me quit apple bricking.
Sorry, how can you possibly link an aborted fetus to pornography?
Were they nekkid? Were there farm animals involved?
Since when is a 600k ID an old timer? Now get off my Gran Torino.

cry at the plight of 2 dimensional characters
Just because you don't like anime doesn't mean everyone who does enjoy it is dumb.
Of course the reality is that just about everyone could get hit by a bus and within 2 months their names will be forgotten and the company will be just fine.
Tell that to Terry Childs.
Wait, Red Hat... that's Linux, right? Which side am I supposed to be on again?
Most in person conversations aren't digitally recorded and kept until the end of time.
Sure they are. They have to be, since not all calls go through that AT&T box.
That's right, IE is so bad, I risk disciplinary action to avoid having to use IE.
Stewbacca, please report to my office, and bring everything in your desk with you.

I added:
216.34.181.45 slashdot.org
to my hosts file, I didn't notice much difference.
Moonlight doesn't support Silverlight 2.0-targeted code.
Either does Silverlight 1.0. Early versions of Flash don't support YouTube-style videos. What's your point?
So, this is gate-gate? Or Gates-gate?
Even more distressing is the number of 'live' acts where everything is prerecorded except for the vocals.
They have pop or hip-hop concerts where the vocals aren't pre-recorded?
Huh, they turned a C64 into an Atari.
The film ends in Triumph as he founds Commodore and wins over Bill Shatner (played by Bill Shatner of course) to be his spokesperson.
That won't work, Bill Shatner looks too young for that part. Too much hair too.
You know, I've often thought that "newspaper editor" should be an elected position.
It is an elected position... elected by the newspaper owner.

No, he meant "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and Benjamin Franklins around it."
I hear they had 1400 employees working on this.
That's great, but they forgot to mention how many new bugs were introduced.
All of them.
(comes right after year of the hippo).
I got one of those for Christmas. The hippo, not the year.
