Exactly my point, the users who would care about a file path are those users 
who are switching to windows, but they would be switching because they know 
linux is different so they would be able to learn how files are handled 
differently. So you may as well present them with /media/sda1. My main point 
however is what is the use of media:/??? or system:/?? this has nothing in 
common with windows so this whole discussion about windows users using linux 
is defunct anyway. What advantages did the devs foresee in using these 
strange protocols, obviously they didn't forsee the compatibility problems 
that have arisen in the various apps.
