No to data loss

John Siracusa has a proposal: dual RAID drives as standard equipment in consumer PCs. There are some arguments against in the comments (how do you market it, given that you can't claim it's as safe as real backups?) but we're at the point that it's worth thinking about. One poster suggests that Apple should make their Backup application standard equipment, but by all accounts I've heard, it sucks.
