Removing things like showing drive letters in explorer, but in another part of the announcement they're introducing a new focus session widget? I...
what.
I'm going to have to finally bite the bullet and move to linux soon, am I? >.>
Linux doesn't show drive letters either.
Uhh... Am I taking crazy pills here? Linux absolutely has drive letters, just not in the same way windows does. But yea they are pretty well irrelevant for any Linux file explorer.
It... doesn't? Unless you mean line /dev/sda1, but that's not really the same thing. On Linux you can theoretically mount any drive anywhere you want under the root, so you might have your music on /mnt/music, or /media/music/ or you could mount it at /home/<username>/music.
Mine is on a drive called Stuff I have mounted at /mnt/Stuff/, I also have a symlink in my home directory from /mnt/Stuff/music/ to /home/<username>/music, which seamlessly makes it appear that it's there as well.
Really it's far more convenient than arbitrary drive letters!
