    You'd be wrong then.

    Windows 3.1 didn't have a default "My Documents" folder type of thing.
    Windows 95, c:\My Documents; No real home directory other than that.
    Windows 98, c:\My Documents; No real home directory other than that.
    Windows ME, c:\My Documents; No real home directory other than that.
    Windows NT 4, c:\winnt\profiles\username\My Documents if I remember right, not sure. Home directory would be one level above.
    Windows 2000, c:\documents and settings\username\My Documents. Home directory would be one level above.
    Windows XP, c:\documents and settings\username\My Documents. Home directory would be one level above.

    Now, how long as OSX been out? Since 2001 was it? Wouldn't that mean it isn't as old as Windows 2000? Gee, that'd make it where as long as OSX has been out, the My Docs directory under Windows has been the same, shouldn't it?

    Look, if you are going to troll Windows subjects, at least get it right...
