Sure, because the camera was formatted by the computer which should not 
be done, they were just not sure what they were doing. Then he took more 
photos and when he got home, Windows would not see it.

Yes I know that....geesh.

Well, that could be cool, if people were savvy enough to use those 
features.

folder and what all else.

For me the interface is a hard reminder of a PC interface, too "thin" and 
"slippery" and not as solid as the windows of 9. Would be nice if we 
could turn off those shadows, I feel like my screen is dirty althought 
not quite as dirty looking as my sister's DELL.
There is a saying that there is no accounting for taste!
