Example: You have the file on a Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/) shared directory. Now you want to edit it on system A (a Linux box). A little later, while system A still has the file open, user from system B (using Windows) wants to open the file. The OS can't do anything about it. The app should take of that (the way VIM does it - it's simply superb! It tells the user which system has a file open and if it's the same system, tells the user if the process is still running. That's a FTW!).
