    Dude.

    In any explorer window go to Tools > Folder Options and then the View tab. Everything is right there and always has been.

    As far as the My Documents folders and all that nonsense, I agree that it is just more confusing to people that can't handle file hierarchy as it is, but they have only changed once (From the Documents and settings folder in XP-era OS's to c:/users in Vista and Windows 7).

    I was referring to the OS, so yes, of course.
    System updates should be handled by the manufacturer, not the service provider. It may not be a problem in the U.S. but I've heard enough stories about Telus not releasing Android version X for Y phone
