"my documents"
"I also don't like the name change of the root folder "My Documents" to the default user name, which is a change that was introduced in Windows Vista."
The generic "my documents" folder for each user is ONE thing I'll be glad to be rid of. It was confusing for people with multiple users on a machine. My sister "lost" all her documents, pictures, music...when she re-installed her XP. (Probably wasn't neccesary, the problem was that 2 antiviruses and 2 antispyware programs were running, freezing her system)
After she did this, her documents were in "my documents" under the OLD user name... and she'd NEVER used Windows explorer and found "documents and settings" with different user names. She also NEVER used "search." She just "knew" that all of them were in "MY documents."
SO, a change to "username1 documents, username2 documents" etc. would be a GOOD thing.
