OK.....another example. A few versions back Microsoft opened a bad can of worms. The file tree showed you accurately what was on your drives. Then they made a left turn from logic and added a folder above My computer called "My documents". So....this folder is not on the computer? It is not on a drive? Of course every software company wanted to have it's special "My" folder above everything. With Vista they have dropped the "My" since there are now so many folders up there it looked silly....but they still have them above my computer....which is not only not logical....it also is incorrect and gives people the wrong impression.
It is this kind of thinking that keeps me away from Apple. I wish Microsoft would return to original mission.

One example:
When I started out on Windows many moons ago, the file management application was called "File Manager". Then Gates changed it to "Windows Explorer". That is progress for you.
