Can't let the wife see that.
She may finally move up to a Mac herself.

Well beyond the human-PC freakiness... at least you'll be safe as there aren't any replicating viruses from a Mac out there.

Curious....

Been so long since I used a PC for personal stuff.........

Do PC's now allow carefree, automatic scheduled or one touch manual, COMPLETE back up of your entire hardrive?
To include all programs and documents?
To include updating only changes since your last back up as opposed to having to copy all of it all over again?
To include allowing you to go back in time, at any given point, and retrieving any document you once had at that time, even if you have now deleted it, and restore it?

Time Machine does allow all of this.
Not sure why I need it since Macs don't seem to crash like PC's but nice to know I have it just in case.

Yes... Windows 7 has this. Vista Did as well. If you have an FTP, you can do off-site backup also. You can sync a folder, the OS, or everything.

Actually Windows NT had this in 1996.

I don't think so.
Not the way Time Machine does it.

As I remember it NT had auto backup, but what Blueface is referring to is when your computer crashes or gives an error, it allows you to revert to the last good configuration.
Now that I think of it, I had an XP laptop that did this automatically as well, but it wasn't the OS. It was a program called step-back or something like that.
