There's a major problem with private folders.

That problem is: It's made by Micro$oft.

The very same Micro$oft who gave us the buggy Win-D'OH!-s OS, and who promises an even buggier version called Vi$ta in January, like it's really going to happen.

The very same Micro$oft who can't keep up with the exploits out there, and forces everyone to play a waiting game for patches while our systems are hacked, only to deliver crappy patches that break other apps and create more exploits that need more patches.

The very same Micro$oft who proudly exclaimed when [url=http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-6090840.html]a "trick" to run shortcuts from the IE address bar was revealed,[/url] "That's not a bug, that a FEATURE!"

I'm an XP Home user myself, but I haven't fallen for the "Private folders" crap knowing that there are bugs and possible exploits and backdoors through it.

Do you realy want that kind of headache?
