Huh?  I thought we had agreed to use %USERPROFILE% instead (which is
usually closer to Unix's $HOME).
%USERPROFILE% is not defined on some versions of Windows, and it is not one of the standard locations available through system calls. No other Windows application writes directly in this directory, as there are standard subdirectories for various purposes (available through system calls) such as storing Application Data, the user's documents, etc. Application Data seemed the most appropriate of these for Emacs' config files and the .emacs.d directory.
