The logic behind that is pretty obvious isn't it?
- klez 7mo agoUnless you mean retrocompatibility, no it's not that obvious to me.

It would be like swapping the brake and accelerator pedals. It would be like switching the sky to green and grass to blue. It would be total anarchy. Okay, maybe it wouldn't be that bad, but it wouldn't be good. At least for the dolt that called their system drive a:\
- thesuitonym 7mo agoIf you plug a USB floppy drive in, and put a diskette in it, it's still A:.
