OK I'm going there: I want to turn off a new feature in OS X that's so infuriating I could swear it was designed by Microsoft, namely, Autosave / Versions. I just don't want it. I have a workflow that involves my trigger finger on cmd-S, I use my own VCS when necessary, I save as compulsively and I open applications like TextEdit and Preview as temporary notepads without wanting any changes saved automatically and without a stupid unlock dialog that then records my changes when I only want to see the changes and not record them.
So: please tell me how I can turn off Versions without rolling back to 10.6, and you will be my new personal hero.
Thanks!
PS: Just asking how to disable, not for a discussion of the pros and cons of the features.
