    Windows Longhorn and Drive Letters

    I read that by default in Longhorn that drive letters are now hidden. Being brought up on computer technology during the DOS faze, I didn't really like this idea, but come to think of it, I think its not bad considering the number of flash and "hard disk" like things you can attach to a PC these days. Eg. MP3 players, digital cameras, stick readers, USB hard drives, firewire drives, it would be nice to just use volume names. What do you guys think?

    By the way I think its good that PCs are finally starting to get rid of legacy components like the parallel port, serial port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard connectors, etc. Legacy software components like drive letters is probably the next thing.
