Well, yeah it's there; I haven't managed to screw things up that badly.
:) Like I said, I'm more of a key-command type (especially since by
that point I've taken my hand off the mouse to hit Ctrl-O to get the
open dialogue). But the big Desktop button is definately an improvement
over the pull-down (it's slow as hell sometimes) that was the only
option before, so I'll give them credit for that.
I guess what I'm saying is that I want more Windows-like functionality
on the Mac and more Mac-like functionality on Windows. That's all :)
