Microsoft Kills “My” Folders
This isn’t really a major source for this, but I trust this guy…plus with a name like Hell Yeah Bitch! .com, who’s going to assume we have journalist integrity anyway?
According to Preston Gralla, Microsoft will kill the “my folders”
At long last, Microsoft has announced it will finally get rid of those annoying “My” names it tacks in front of folders. When Longhorn hits, there will be no folders named My Documents, My Pictures and so on. Instead, they’ll just be labeled Documents, Pictures, etc.
Finally! I’ve found those “My” folders nearly as annoying as the animated Search dog that crawls out from its kennel when you do an XP search, or the moronic “Clippy” paper clip that pops up when you ask for help in Office. In fact, there’s only one virtual being more annoying than Clippy — the universally reviled Jar Jar Binks. And George Lucas has managed to essentially make him vanish in the latest Star Wars pic.

Microsoft always tries to be too “cute-sy”. They think that giving a crappy search feature a cartoon dog will allow non-techies to use it better, but they really just need to make a better search.
Is anyone going to miss the My Folders? For that matter, does anyone actually use and like Clippy?
