Can you expand on how this improves usability?  It's not like content on
the drive automatically gets sorted into the correct directories or
anything, so you end up with a "Music" directory which is not where the
music kept, etc.  "Where is my music?"  "Ah! It must be in the 'Music'
folder!" "Oh, that's empty."  "Ah!  Maybe it's in *this* 'Music'
folder!"  "Oh, that's empty too."  Frustrating.

If the OS creates content on the card it might make sense for it to
create a content-type directory to keep it in.  But that should only
happen when the content is created, not speculatively when the card is
formatted.

Ubuntu desktop does this too of course.  So does my Macintosh.  And I
have never understood why.  Those directories have always sat empty on
every operating system I've ever used, getting in my way.
