Directories named with plain english words are easier to understand than things like /etc and /usr. Do you not see that?

I don't see how that is. Having the system directory change from c:\winnt to c:\windows never cost me a single bit of grief, while it did allow for side by side installs. I realize that this idea is pretty drastic and don't expect you to like the idea at first glance. All I'm asking is that you give it some serious thought rather than shoot it down out of arrogance.
