Lets take the worst of windows and make it the unchangeable default of linux

Well, I didn't add a comment that I dont use nautilus, I do use it and 
don't mind it (actually, i quite like it). I can accept that this is the 
default behaviour, and I am comfy to test it in the mean time.

What I was moaning about, is the lack of choice, the inability to 
exercise a choice to maintain the current default behaviour.

I was trying to copy a file from ~/dvdrip/harrypotter/avi/001/cos.ogm to 
/home/movies/kids/harrypotter.

Using the new spatial mode opened *FOUR* windows to get to the movie.
Open a new "Computer" window and then *FIVE* new windows to get it to 
where I wanted to move the file.

So I had a total of 9 windows open to move one file.

I don't like the fact that some people feel we have to copy other 
operating systems behaviour, but I can live with it.

What drives me nuts is when you are forced to choose their way, or the 
highway.
