No More “My” In Next Windows

No More MY
Microsoft Corp. plans to stop using the word “my” as the default prefix for such folders as “My Documents,” “My Music,” “My Pictures” etc. So, Starting in the next Windows version, folders name will be called simply as “Documents,” “Music,” and so on.

This minor change will surely leave some influence to our daily life.

Quoted:
With any other product, such a minor change probably wouldn’t even be noticed. But the Microsoft operating system runs on more than 90 percent of the world’s personal computers, and its persistent use of the word has been one of its most conspicuous characteristics — helping to fuel widespread use of the “my” prefix in the technology industry.
