APPLE! Suggested Feature. Plus, Removal Tip

Finder should store all this info (.DS_Store, ._resourcefork) in the root of the drive

Not a good idea. Less privileged users should not have have write privileges to the root of shared drives such as server volumes.

So, Finder writes to more appropriate paths.

Attempts to write to the root of a volume can be terribly problematic. See for example WebDAV (PLIP #187) and Microsoft Office 2004 and related links.
