Hey man chill out, don't take it so offensive. For someone asking: "But why did this happen, and more importantly how do I stop this happening in the future!! I dont want "data" rolling back becuase of vista system issues."
I got the impression that you never heard of something like version control cause that question has nothing to do with Flex so I figured this guy is not really a "professional developer" cause he would have used some sort of VSS or at least made backups after a days work and not trusted Vista telling him that his documents are not affected. So maybe he needs help by telling him what professional software developers use for securing their sources without being offensive. And yes I do check in "work in progress" that's where we use branches for. Still, why ask Vista related questions in a non Vista related group.
