As do Macs, and some Linux builds. The whole "windowing" environment
removes the sharp edges of computers too. Get back in your command line
box :p In the real world people dont care about these technical things,
and if the "folders" metaphore helps people understand a particular
computing concept better then that's great. Resisting anything that
aids understanding is just dumb. Go read a book and XP (and I dont mean
Windows).
