Exactly, I am more spatially oriented.  But there are some things 
that do bug me about the new Finder, but, I though the 'browser' 
style has been there for a while, it just isn't too consistent , read 
this article, and not the one above linked by Woz: 
http://www.arstechnica.com/reviews/003/panther/macosx-10.3-1.html.

I've also noted that the 'zoom' widget no longer works-it seems to go 
to an arbitrary size and not just right like in previous systems. 
Maybe it has to do with views, but, It's rather annoying-Apple should 
only borrow the good ideas from Windows.
