Microsoft Notebook: The end of 'my' is nigh | |
|
||
| Time: 09:31 EST/14:31 GMT | News Source: Seattle PI | Posted By: Chris Hedlund | ||
Those folders on your Windows desktop will still be yours -- but in the future you'll need to figure that out on your own. Ending a longstanding tradition, Microsoft Corp. plans to stop using the word "my" as the default prefix for such folders as "My Documents," "My Music," "My Pictures" and others along those lines. Starting in the next Windows version, due out next year, folders will be known simply as "Documents," "Music," and so on. With any other product, such a minor change probably wouldn't even be noticed. But the Microsoft operating system runs on more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers, and its persistent use of the word has been one of its most conspicuous characteristics -- helping to fuel widespread use of the "my" prefix in the technology industry. | ||
