    Recent improvements in Windows 7 make this an awesome piece of kit. I'm using Finder for Mac at the same time and find the Explorer interface a little more intuitive.

    There are faster file managers than Windows Explorer. However, it does its job since introduced in Windows 95. New features like Libraries in Windows 7 make your Explorer life easier.

    Although I'm a long-term Mac user (way back to the SE), I prefer Windows Explorer as a file manager over the Mac's Finder. It is more feature-filled.

    Windowsowy eksplorator bardzo dobrze funkcjonuje w wersji XP, gdyż jest intuicyjny oraz szybki. Jednak w Viście nie radzi sobie już tak świetnie. Szybkość pozostała, ale zmiana interfejsu to najgorszy krok jaki mógł wykonać Windows. Brak alternatywy robi swoje, dlatego też ludzie zamykają się na nowości w tej kategorii.

    Getting worse with every Windows release. I wish they would make fileman.exe from Win 3.1 the default again ...
