Surely the lack of previous versions in the Mac Finder is an issue for Apple to fix? As such an RFE with IBM is not going to help and good look getting Apple to lift a finger. Similar for the various Linux file manager programs, though in this case being open source at least IBM could contribute code to fix the issue. However it occurs to me that a solution might be to run the Windows Explorer under Wine on the above platforms. Obviously licensing issues may well make that problematic, but perhaps the ReactOS clone of Windows Explorer supports the "Previous versions" feature, and if not it could be expanded to do so.
