Hmm, well, MS seems to excel at making file systems that obscure where
things are, and make it hard to find the file you want.

e.g. Windows Vista, in what's presented as your home space, I make a new
folder.  Later on, I go back and visit that home space, and my folder
doesn't show.  I can find it in the tree, but the homespace doesn't want
to show anything other than the folders that they created, until you
hunt around.
