folder vs. directory

[Christian Neumair <chris gnome-de org>]

Hi there!
Maybe some of you asked themselves the same question:
Why do we use folder instead of directory in applications like Nautilus?
I assume that this was introduced to make it easier for people who used
to run Windows on their computer. I think it's totally inconsistent to
make a difference between graphical and console applications in
terminology.

see you,
 Chris
