In short, if you are "moving" a director to a second disk and there is a power failure, all your data is lost. THe claim is this will not happen in a PC running Vista. The author (in replying to comments) claims copying is different than moving since copying alters the creation date. That is not true.
He also fails to acknowledge that you have to consciously tell the OS to move, not copy, to a destination on a different disk,. The default is to copy.
What a bunch of BS! First, he's wrong that it is a bug. Second he is wrong that doing a stupid thing like moving without assuring a backup (as easy as copying and then deleting) is not good "standard operating procedure in ANY OS.
When called to account, he insists that the "creation" dates change in a copy. Again, not true. Creation dates do not change when a file is copied. In fact, even the modification date remains the same!

Just a little diversion from the Tuesday morning pre-Starbucks run
