MS apps *have* autosave, they just don't force it.

Well, I have Win 7 running in a VM on my Mac out of forced necessity. I
can't say I like it (but I'll also admit I'm woefully ignorant about how
to use it - I am precisely the non-techie stupid user when it comes to
Windows!). I've heard Win 8 is going to have some kind of similar
autosave/versions features too, though I know even less about that, just
something I've heard rumored in the Mac communities.
I strongly suspect I'll be looking at Linux Mint or Ubuntu, maybe on a
Toshiba, sometime at the back end of this year or early 2013, depending
on how long I can eke some life out of my current Mac (which runs Snow,
Lion and Win 7, whereas the new macs will only run Lion and Win :(,
hence the need to make a change when I need new hardware).
