Yep, or like any of the various *nix flavors. There's just no reason to expect Windows and other applications to respect your library or config files when placed in common areas. (Do I sound paranoid? ;-) I prefer to think of it as cautious...) Of course, leaving other's library files alone is good library form too. I've started writing all my Windows code in this style, installing all required library files in my own directory and using text-only config files also in my application's directory. Many shareware packages do too -- and guess what? I have less trouble with shareware than any other kind of software.
BTW, I'm no big fan of Mac's either but mostly because of their business model/tactics.
