If you're not a Windows user, what features would you like to see in Windows for possible assimilation?"

    It needs one, instead of that travesty I'm forced to use in windows 7.
    On XP I used Directory Opus for many happy years.

    Twin file windows, scripting, you can use dual folder trees.. oh so many useful things.

    NOW, when I'm doing major filesystem rearrangement I'm furious all the time. Here's an example, I want to copy or move hundreds of files from five separate folders on one HD to a different set of five folders on another HD. In Opus its easy, open each HD in a file browser window, right click and drag. In windows explorer, you have to open two copies of explorer.exe and the instant a copy operation completes ONE OF THEM CLOSES! FUCK YOU MS! stop closing programs I opened!
