MS is always trailing the pack.
MS demand no piracy, however do not provide any real support when it comes to the plentiful of problems.
When do they truly align the various applications in the MS office package?

“Time Machine compete [sic] UI” seems like a freudian slip to me…

These ads might be for some other reason than for the position itself. The company has to put out an ad before sponsoring a green card for an H1B employee.

The team was talking about thinking about Time Machine integration a while back…

Another feature I would like to see is Zune integration; but perhaps that would be on the side of the Zune’s sync program?

That type of pizazz just for a backup server? Sounds like paranoia to me. Time Machine looks pretty and all, but functional wise its not really important. I like Vista Ultimate’s straightforward approach to backup, its simple and gets to the point.

Sounds to me like they are saying they want UI that competes with the time machine UI. Understandable as people oooh and aaah about time machine all the time even though it is functionally inferior to what Windows and home server have.

I think you may have read that wrong. It’s not TIme Machine-like, it’s just better Time Machine integration. As far as I know, WHS already works with Time Machine, as I remember that being mentioned back before it’s release. But maybe I have it wrong.
