Actually, it took me a while to figure out why "Photos" didn't take my to My photos, but to a photo stream of all of my friends.

Me too, but I believe that's a context problem, not a phrasing problem.

Also, Win7 did not add the "My" prefix back to computer, documents, pictures, or anything.

Well then somebody has some explaining to do.

In fairness, there are aliases of some kind set up such that "John\Documents" and "John\My Documents" are synonyms. But the GUI very much puts "My" front and center for me.
