I was wondering if anyone knew the thinking behind there decision to do this:

Alot of pages on Apple.com have clean links such as:

http://www.apple.com/wifi/

however some of there pages end with .html

http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/features/airtunes.html

I find it unlikely that these pages are static html pages so….

Why would Apple (and other sites) do with, what are the usability advantages?

    After a some thought, the way I see it is the ‘.html’ signify to the user that there is no more pages down that branch of the site. Anything that ends with ‘/’ has a menu on it and the user can go a little deeper.
