The madness must stop. I have a feeling Steve will be missed more and more as the years pass.
- kalleboo 14y agoI did some googling and it seems like Windows 8 Metro apps might have similarly neutered file handling. Has anyone tried it out and can report?
- brudgers 14y agoMy understanding is that Metro tends to sandbox an apps data in a way analogous to that of a mobile OS. I believe the intent is to prevent one Metro app from overwriting another apps data or corrupting the file system.

Just to make it clear, the linked blog post is wrong; there is no data loss in this situation. All that happens is one more save point, which does not harm earlier save points. (aka versions)
