Hi All,
The issues with the program files folder makes me think that this is
the death of the program files location for small developers such as
myself. I find it useful and very convenient to store my programs
and data in the one location. My programs are small and my data is
an integral part of the program, therefore it makes sense to me to
have them in the same location, and makes it easier for my users (who
know less about computers than most) to keep track of their "stuff".
I can't help think Microsoft are less interested in protecting the
end-user than lining their own pockets. If Vista is capable of
detecting an old-style setup program and create the "virtual program
files folder", then surely it's capable of displaying the UAC or
whatever it's called to ask for confirmation that overwriting a
program is ok. "You are about to replace a program stored in the
program files folder, is this ok?"
Cheers,
Chris.
