  2. First I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the thread. There's a lot of useful and informative information. Some philosophical points were raised and I wanted to comment on them. First, bonnet, boot what difference does it make? Imagine the look on your face when I tell you I can't find the spare tire under the bonnet.
    Windows operating systems have been notorious for there exploitability and bugs. So along comes Areal, that blurry interface that people hated, the lost Start button that had to be restored, and the 8.1 disaster that eliminated the desktop, which Win 10 restored. So many users complained that there is a Windows Classic option in XP. Like I said Microsoft is trying to put different shades of lipstick on its pig hoping we'll ignore the pig. I could upgrade for $200, but I may as well buy a new computer for $400. I don't want to. When the hardware breaks, I'll buy. Either way I spend weeks finding where they've put things that didn't need to be moved and avoiding un-patched exploits.
    Microsoft, on the other hand could have been pounding on the system, eliminating the bugs and closing loopholes, endearing it's users to them. Meanwhile, if they have a new Graphical User Interface that you love and you don't mind spending the money, you can "Upgrade" assured that the OS is bug free and hack proof. For that matter there might be dozens of GUI's that appeal all sorts of different tastes, ( a few people actually liked that Areal interface ). I started with DOS and couldn't see any value in Windows. Then I got a mouse. By the time I got to 98 though I had pretty much everything I needed in a interface. There have been improvements to be sure, but since 98 nothing that I couldn't live without. There are some features I might have purchased as add-ons to customize my 98 interface. Talk about professional looking, no glitz, no glam, no wasted RAM on painting the screen with cascading colors and other silliness. I brought a new computer running XP. Had I the opportunity I would have "Upgraded" to 98, My preferred GUI and the last true "Personal Computer" OS. I have and never will have a reason to share my PC. The sign in front of it says, "If you touch it I will hurt you".
    As to the naming conventions they should be user defined. If I send something across a LAN or WAN windows can simply drop it into the folder it knows it as regardless of what the user there calls it. I bring my car Betsy to be repaired. He looks up Ford repairs. He doesn't care if I call it Betsy, but he can't look up Betsy repairs, and I understand. My car is a Ford and that will never change, but I still call her Betsy.
