Now which is more intuitive
a: or/dev/fda
c: or/dev/hda
c:> or $
dir or ls
format c: or mke2fs/dev/hda
Those are all pretty stupid comparisons. Obviously any partitions would be mounted somewhere meaningful and not used from/dev/hd*
On the other hand, how big of a pain in the ass is it to be limited to having each physical drive mapped to a different drive letter? In unix, any number of physical drives can be mounted in the same directory structure. So my home directory can be on a completely different drive than yours, but they will both be accessible from/home/.
As for your prompt, it can be anything you want it to be. Also, dir vs. ls is as simple as alias dir="ls -al" (this is what I use on our solaris box at work). Linux even has a dir command out of the box, so to speak.

You mean you didn't know? According to turner broadcasting it is illegal.

So, they "aren't at all similar", yet one is a rip-off of the other?
uhm, maybe you should look at the article. He is referring to this dock, not the taskbar.
They "work" on 1.2b. It's just a simple mouseover for the entire picture; not much "interaction".
