Legacy-related data is already rather scattered. It would be nice to have a notice that a new location has been added, and then to have an option in the Legacy location options to direct it wherever you like. (Perhaps that does exist -- I haven't used this feature.) We already must keep track of locations for active family files, backups, usr files, geo database, and derived reports and charts.
I agree that the whole concept of the C:/Legacy folder was flawed. (Static program files should have been in Program Files and changing data should have been stored under user control, defaulting to My Documents.) But do we now want a hybrid approach, each time a new type of data is invented? I would like to know more about a 'restructuring', if that is really underway. When I bought my Windows 7 computer last year, I found that the C: drive was fairly small and the E: drive was huge. I had to redirect some of our 'My' folders to the E: drive. (My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, My Videos) Some people will not know how to do this, but they would be able to deal with location options within applications like Legacy.
