As a power user, a data hoarder and a child of the 90's who grew up with a computer all of my own to learn holistically, I hear you. I still run Windows 7 on my own PC. We're a minority, though, that's all I'm saying. When computers were new, people like us got to set the tone as we were early adopters, but now that computers are ubiquitous, we've been flooded out with the computer illiterate masses, and it seems Microsoft and Apple find it easier to cater to them as the bottom line.
Not on my desktop, but in a place I can find and organize them.
Not some magical mystery place that Apple wants to put them.
