The Death of Folders?
saintlupus writes "There's an interesting article on Wired about the interface changes in Tiger being a precursor to the demise of the classic folder-browsing Finder." From the article: "Users type search queries more or less as they did pre-Tiger, but 'the quality, scope and presentation of the results are significantly better, so users get good benefits without having to change their behavior.'"

"On NTFS, creator of the file IS stores, and there are also fields for Created, Modified and Accessed dates."
Un-huh. But are they useful?
We were talking about a particular instance when having last accessed information would be useful when finding files. I mentioned that we have that in Spotlight and it is instantly indexed and searchable. You didn't need to butt in with your "but, but, but, but NTFS has that too!" As I recall WinFS has been dropped from Longhorn. Quoth Microsoft:
"UPDATE: In spite of what may be stated in this content, WinFS is not a feature that will come with the Longhorn Operating System. However, WinFS will be available on the Windows platform at some future date, which is why this content continues to be provided for your information."
