The Death of Folders?

Posted by Zonk on from the croak dept.

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.'"

    Funny, I delete all of my folders before I create them. I figure if it's important, I will look it up in Spotlight.

    "Better yet, instead of the death of folders, why not something which sits alongside side, like som sort of brilliant search capability?"

    Yeah, it's called Spotlight, from a company called Apple. Maybe you've heard of them...
