I use it on a mac. I have not gotten under the hood and looked at the underlying core.
From an S3 perspective it is like getting a small bag of crack through the fence:
once you get past the complexity of the S3 subscription, it is seamless and very easy to use.
It takes all the fear out, and gets you thinking what else you could do.
Priceless really, from an amazon cx acquisition standpoint.

Hey, I have some not easily answered segmentation questions about cloud and data center providers. How do I go about discussing an engagement with you to consider whether they can be answered? Sorry to ask publicly but I can’t find an obvious contact point for this on your blog.

I agree, although I should note that Jungledisk requires Fuse (at least on Linux; I haven’t tried it on Windows).

you can mount S3 storage as a virtualized disk using Jungledisk.
Shows up on the desktop like any other remote disk.

one of the successful things about Amazon is that they have developed an ecosystem of developers who are making tools available that take the need for deep technical understanding out of their service.

This is essential to mass market penetration as customer acquisition usually starts with trivial needs, like a jungledisk enabled disk backup to S3 because IT can’t provide one, that blossoms into a full meal deal development team using it.
