I'm bringing exe back

"Them other boys don't know how to act".

Windows Vista (the next version of the Windows Operating System) allows you to recover permanently deleted files.

I think this feature is unnecessary (not to mention a security problem). Maybe I don't understand the real benefit of the undelete beyond the trash bin. I know there are disk tools out there that allow you to recover permanently deleted files but that should be reserved for real emergency cases or for dealing with disgruntled ex-employees. Perhaps a shadow copy of a shadow copy of an undelete will be coming soon?

At the time of writing this blog, that undelete feature is enabled by default in Windows Vista. Also, Windows Vista is scheduled for a early 2007 release.
