The Shape of Things to Come
Microsoft Will Drop 'My' Prefix for Longhorn:
If you are a Microsoft user, there's a big change coming in Longhorn -- the code name for the next MS operating system: the "My" prefix is disappearing.
Microsoft users have become used to the "My Music," "My Pictures," and other "My" folders, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, reported. Those Windows folders will still be yours -- but they won't keep hitting you over the head with that terminology.
Ending a longstanding tradition, Microsoft says, starting in the next Windows version due out next year, folders will be known simply as "Documents," "Music," and so on.
It's a precursor to renaming all folders and whatnot as
Our Computer,
Our Music,
Our Documents, and so on.
