Microsoft Longhorn Loses 'My' Prefix

[Langly]

My word!

or, as Jim Royle might say "My Ar$e!"

Is this fault present on a Mac??

No, you have access to the other user's Public folder's Drop Box (to give them stuff) but you cannot delete or modify things of theirs.

WHAT?? Everytime Microsoft dos it, every one else follows????

Umm, lets review, They are just now taking the MY out of equation..

Lets review the attachment, I see no "MY" In any of the screen

I don't think they meant it like that.
You'll note that Microsoft put names like "My Documents" "My Music" etc, and suddenly, every developer for Windows apps uses "My" for everything. As a result, "My Downloads", "My eBooks", etc. Every app adds a "My" folder.

If Windows is set up correctly you don't have access to the "My Documents" folder of other users - you can see the folder, you just can't see its contents. If you can, then you are most likely an admin.

Again, MS assumes that the average user can do this. I'm not an MSCE/MSCA thus I have no knowledge on how to get the functionality I'm looking for. Besides , one adminstrator shouldnt have access to another administrators folders in the same installation of WinXP. Some files should remain private, unless otherwise specified. Users cannot install programs, nor can they uninstall programs; thus I'm stuck with 2 administrator files with real profile names. This is aside from the actual "Administrator" profile that Windows mandates (the one you access by pressing Control+Alt+Delete combo quickly done twice at the login screen). My case well just look at the quote below.

This is the specific reason I wish to move to Apple OS X in less than 1.2 months - a full switcher this time, and if I can it'll be fulltime.
