actually, it is legal to distribute suse for free. i contacted them about a year ago about it. (i bought a box set of 9.0 pro and we wanted to install it on a box at work just for fun, and to hand out copies to my co-workers.) i eventually got in touch with their licensing/legal department and found out that it is ok. it's not legal to sell it because of the old YaST licensing, but it is legal to give copies away for free.
if you have two drives that are mirrored. you could swap one of them out as often as you wanted a backup. so as long as you don't throw out the hard drive you have a backup. that is how it will prevent loss due to an (un)intentionall deletion.
couldn't you just do that with RAID and not have to pay even more money to microsoft? i understand that isn't the point of RAID, but you can use it to backup your data on the hardware level, instead of whatever buggy software they come out with next.

if i get what i pay for, does that mean if i pay microsoft enough money i won't have problems with their products? hmm.. i think ballmer or gates should use this as their next big push for microsoft products. especially when governments consider moving to open source software. if they just pay microsoft endless amounts of money, there won't be any problems.
