Abby Christopher and Mike Faden about the end for the era of organizing files in nested folders:
“User-interface experts at one of the world’s top design houses say Mac OS X Tiger is the beginning of the end for the Macintosh Finder — the era of organizing files in nested folders is over.
Experts at Silicon Valley’s frog design say new features like the systemwide Spotlight search are far more useful for locating information than the hierarchy of files and folders that underpins most computing interfaces, whether on Macs or Windows-based PCs. ”
my comment
The end for the era of organizing files in nested folders had already begun with the development of Microsofts Longhorn some years ago. Have a look at the new Longhorn ntfs-based storagesystem WinFS (Windows Future Storage).
