HI Guido, I'm not a windows user or developer, but I concur.
When I was reading this post I kept thinking to myself that Windows
is one of the only Operating Systems with a File system that reuiqres
this [A-Z]:\ syntax. All sensible POSIX systems I know and File Systems
all mount various other media on "mount points". *shrug*
