Actually, Program Files never was the right place for configuration
(or any other kind of volatile data) - even Windows NT 4 (released in
1996) did not let non-admin users write there. The only thing that
Vista changed is that all programs by default run as if a limited user
was running them, precisely to force programmers to start writing
their software properly (UAC was never meant to be a security
feature).
