What about getting RID of the file selector, and just using the normal file views + drag and drop to open and save files? Drag a file to your word processor, and it opens. Drag the tab from the word processor to a disk, and you save. Drag a section of a file, and you save that section. Drag that section to the desktop, and you save a cut buffer, and you can have as many cut buffers as you want.
Hell, why can't I just drag a file to a printer icon to print it? Why do I have to OPEN the file, then print it?
So often I hear that 'MySQL v5[.0] finally delivers the features that other DBs have offered for years'. Have these people actually _used_ v5, or anything else??:
Support for transactions! (But DDL statements don't count, so forget applying DB schema patches atomically)
Support for triggers! (But only one per type (e.g. BEFORE INSERT) per table. Oh, and trigger functions can't act on the triggering table. Er, why?)
Support for functions! (As long as e.g. you don't want set-returning functions that can be used in place of a normal table, or in fact to use them for anything useful)
Support for subqueries! (Except that SELECT statements cannot contain a subquery in the FROM clause. Right)
Schemas? Rules? Types? Domains? Nobody uses them anyway!
Bizarre limitations:
"Incorrect table definition; there can be only one TIMESTAMP column with CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in DEFAULT or ON UPDATE clause". WTF?
And to those who say MySQL is so developer friendly, what's so friendly about "You have a syntax error near ' at line 11. Check the manual." for virtually every single syntax error?
I could go on, but it's probably nest that I go an lie down in a darkened room.

Sadly dormant now, but was intriguing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonym.OS IIRC the network stack had been tweaked to 'appear' like Win2K.
