Yea. It is great when you hate waiting around for a really long menu to scroll, just to get to an entry at the bottom of it, such as the most recently added bookmark in your bookmarks list.
How would auto-updating be done without having to make every folder and every file in the web root world writeable on shared hosting providers just to allow the updates to be written?
Don't forget the profile folder. Back in the pre-1.0 versions of Firefox, some people had some weird issues caused by something in their Firefox profile that the uninstalling and reinstalling of Firefox did not fix for them. But, if they moved their profile folder from its normal location or deleted the profile folder entirely and then restarted Firefox, they didn't have the problems anymore.
Which all only work if the person you are communicating with is available at the exact time you are online. What if you are trying to contact people who are on at varying schedules that don't always match yours?
Well, it looks like even some filesystems that don't suffer much from fragmentation also have an automatic defragger such as Reiser4 with something they call the repacker.
Once Installed, apt-get update
then, apt-get dist-upgrade
then, apt-get upgrade -- for good measure.
Or for those who like GUI tools instead of the command line, they could click the "System" menu, then move down to "Administration", and then choose "Ubuntu Update Manager". Once there, they can click "Reload" and then hit "Install" to install all the available updates.
Does it mean that, when someone unthinkingly plugs their new device into the USB port before they've installed the software, it won't require a registry rollback or hunting down cached.inf files to get Windows to work with said device?
When does Windows ever require this? I've personally ignored the instructions of some devices, even when they say install the driver first before plugging it in, and have had no problems installing the driver after I plugged the device in.

I guess you are right. My bookmarks are a bit disorganized.

These? GmailFS (for Linux) and GMail Drive (for Windows).

Does that mean that opening folders will take much longer than ever before since it will be busy creating icon previews for everything in the folder?
