Give me a break...what's so hard about organizing files into folders? And, am I always looking for one specific file whose name I can remember? No, sometimes I can't remember the filename, but I will know it when I see it...sometimes I'm just browsing through a folder in Windows Explorer...sometimes I know a filename but not which folder it's in, and vice verse...etc.

The author is on the right track. In lieu of saving files in folders, let me associate them with projects. I save my logo using Photoshop and associate it with my web project. When I start a new project I open the logo and associate it with my second project. Same file associated with two projects. I don't care where the file is stored. I want it to be there when I look at my project files.

Build the OS around a robust search engine for locating files and I'll be happy. I'm tired of Windows. Linux and Mac are no better. Our current OSes are like choosing between movies 1, 2 and 3 -- same actors and same script -- only the directors are different. Blech.
