I've been using it for about a week now. I haven't had to use the rewind
features yet, although they are available. I do notice more disk activity
than normal and sometimes I have to wait for the disk activity to stop
before I can go on (like closing an IE window), although that also happened
before I had Rewind. I also notice that HD space doesn't get reclaimed when
I empty the trash. I suspect that's part of the undelete file thing. I
expect that space will come back when it's needed, but it's a little
unnerving as the free space gets smaller.
