Are Libraries Completely Useless?
I just switched from XP to 7. After removing Aero and other frou frou, W7 seemed not so bad--even good. But what am I to make of "Libraries"? They seem to provided a limited capability similar to a more general capability that we have had all the time.
We have Folders (once called directories, but let that pass). Folders are File System entries that contain other File System entries. Generally speaking there are three types of entries: File entries which provide OS access to the file as stored, sub-folder entries, and shortcut entries (once called links, but let that pass too), to other files and folders (and probably other shortcuts as well. I've never tried).
So what are Libraries? They appear to be folders that are limited, in that they can only contain shortcuts to other folders--not files, and not libraries. Am I wrong?
