According to TechNewsWorld, Microsoft will no longer be using the 'My' prefix in the next version of its Windows OS, Longhorn. For example, instead of "My Documents" the folder will be just, "Documents." While its truely an insignificant change, it will be a welcomed one.

But...how will I know who's documents they are? Or who's music?

Mark my words, without the prefix there will be lots of legal situations that ensue. "But your honor, it wasn't my music that was illegally downloaded!"

Clockwork brings up a valid arguement. If the documents and music on my computer are no longer my documents and my music, then who's are they? Maybe this is microsoft's attempt to gain control of everyone's media. If they're no longer the user's, then Microsoft will some how be able to claim that since they have rights to Windows, and the files are stored in a Windows directory, then they have rights to anything and everything on your computer. I smell conspiracy!!
