Wow... anyone would think this is something you couldn't do with *nix machines. *nix was designed to be a multi-user OS right from the start, and has had these functions for years. And naturally, Linux is no exception.

Been learning some of the terminal commands recently. I just love the way in *nix you can move 2000 files at once whilst simulatneously doing a batch file name conversion. Doing this in windows would take forever. The terminal will let you do all sorts of styuff that windows can't, and the stuff it does that windows can do takes about a tenth of the time.
