Is Remember each folder's view settings functionality gone for good?

And I thought it was only me - I've been asking but no one seems to have an answer.  It seems any window that uses the explorer (games, windows explorer, etc) has only one setting available to it as far as size and location are concerned.  On my Vista system, I have the games folder one size, the windows explorer almost full screen, windows update, control panel - all retain their sizes and locations... in Windows 7 (RTM and before), if I change the games folder, all subsequent window use that size.  This won't stop me from upgrading in a few weeks, but it seems like someone just forgot the code!.

Default behaviour!
The feature was available in the other windows versions and has been left out, probably for performance issues.  Repeating yourself makes you sound dumb cos your not answering the question.  The question is whether the feature is gone or will it return in an update!!!

I for one and getting quite annoyed at the omission.  I like to set things the way i want then.  I like to navigate the way i want.  It annoys me when someone removes a function that most technologically minded people use.

e.g. 
My computer is top right of my screen.  I like this folder opening up just below it.
I have a NAS link on the left of the screen, i like both to open on the screen at once with out obstruction.

With this function removed i can't do it and i need to change the way i work.  I found a 3rd party Utility that does the job, so microsoft can easily implement it.
Simple question....

Why have they removed this feature?
What is the likelihood of bringing it back?

Microsoft needs to put this option back.  It's absolutely ridiculous that it was removed.  Do they honestly believe it's productive to constantly rearrange windows?  Who the heck decided it was a good idea to do this?  I have no words for the stupidity of this decision.

This is the NUMBER ONE most annoying "non" feature of Window 7.  Just plain stupid unless someone can explain to me otherwise.  Why on earth would anyone want a new explorer window to open right on top of another window by default?  Typically I open more that one window when I want to copy a file from one place to another.  Now every time I want to do this I have to manually drag one window to the side so I can see both.  Stupid.  Just plain vista-stupid.

As of last Wednesday, Microsoft tech support (three seperate techs) were not even aware of this issue.  What were they thinking?  Also, what happened to the clean, concise, easily customizable classic start menu?

Send an email to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** and tell them you want it back.

Is Microsoft working on a fix?   This problem is a deal breaker for installing Windows 7 in our shop.

So a moderator jumps on the thread and removes stupidly supposed answers, but leaves intact the reply that doesn't answer a thing. Genius! Maybe this is why people bad mouth microsoft. 
All "i created windows 7" ____ really annoys me when people are asking for a feature and get ignored!


Must repeat the first question....

Remember each folder's view settings functionality gone for good? Add to this, my questions;

Is anyone at M$ working on the feature? 

... in tack the reply that doesn't answer a thing...
Is anyone at M$ working on the feature?

The word here is intact. ;)

Here's the reply I received from M$ on 11/5 from their escalation specialists.  So they are aware of this horrible exclusion.

Our Windows team is currently investigating this issue and will be providing a response shortly. I will be sure to contact you as soon as I receive their reply.
