Some of you might be thinking, why? Well, I think it's about time. MCSE's, VB Programmers, and techies have been using Windows for years, and I think it's about time Windows moves to the desktop for ordinary people.

Jon Martin I have thought that for a long time now.
Why are hierarchies so entrenched in computers?
I would rather as for 'All word documents related to PRoject X' than go to /Documents and Settings/users/joesix/...
Glad I finally heard this from someone else... It's all about abstraction. The programmer thinks in terms of files and directories. The user thinks in terms of logical organization (projects, topics, date). This is why some sort of relational file system might be interesting...but I think just teaching people to use some sort of logical directory setup might be easier on the system's resources...
