Then get ready to love the usability nightmare that is MacOSX Finder

What exactly do these guys "not get?" You can still do all the things you could always do, and now you can do MORE, because shortcuts you never knew about are brought to the surface via the ribbon. for example: invert selection. I never knew about this feature, but if i did, i'd have to go to file, THEN click "invert selection." Now I know this function is available because it isn't hidden in a submenu, and I can use it through ONE CLICK instead of two. Try doing that on Finder...wait, you cant.

Awesome stuff. I can't wait to make use of these new tools. Do your thing Microsoft.

Cool, but how about multiple views? Still prefer Q-Dir...

@thebigboss1212 It looks like 10 yrs old Windows XP

I'm laughing hard: lack of innovation called heritage and tiny buttons for each action slower to use than keyboard shortcuts anyway.

Uses the word "cool" way too much to describe something that really isn't. What a mess! Guess all the Windows nerds will love it though

As much as I love Mac OS X, I'd like to see Microsoft design the Finder. =)

Didnt we all just get win 7? & as far as getting "the point", i dont see the diffrence being that huge, but thats just me...

Why try to sell a "new" OS for a few improvements! lol ripping off stupid customers. I stick with Linux ... simply better in differnet ways ..

[MrVeeBlog]

I dig it. Bring it on Microsoft.
