Why Microsoft should put user data in a separate volume | |

When I attended Microsoft's Vista preview two weeks ago, Microsoft's Jim Allchin gave a talk and answered some questions to the press. During his talk, Mr. Allchin told us a story about some memories he shared with Steve Ballmer. The way the story goes, Steve Ballmer walked in to Jim's office one day and plopped a big desktop PC on his desk. Apparently, Ballmer had spent the entire weekend trying to clean spyware off of a friend's computer and couldn't so he put it in Allchin's hand. After tens of man-hours of engineering time, they finally managed to clean the PC to a workable state and sent it back to the owners. | ||

Separate volume by default may be difficult, but for crying out loud. Don't hide the users data from them!
The default PST storage location for Outlook is utterly ridiculous! Why the hell doesn't MS default outlook data to the MY DOCUMENTS folder? It couldn't be more obvious where it should be stored. To make matters worse, the default storage location for PST's is in a HIDDEN folder tree, and users lose data all the time because search, in default settings, does not look through invisible folders. Dumb, dumb, dumb! TL |
