The file system is a lie. It's all a blob of memory and your data is like trash, thrown about all over the place. How it appears in your little Windows Explorer has little to do with how it's stored, so why can't we have more flexible systems for structuring our data? As soon as you toss out the idea of separate folders, then your points become moot and are solved (except for maybe point 4, though I think a new OS would want to heavily promote that).
