If the Windows users can come to a consensus on whether the
default should be global or user, then we can easily switch
it. The same applies for the default global or user
installation paths. I think it's morally right to run as user by default. Yes, the windows
culture has some legacy that may, on occasion, make it slightly harder
to use "well behaved" programs, but it's fairly minor these days. So is it just a matter of switching the default, or do the default user
paths have to change too? Is there any recommended/sensible place for
installing per-user applications on Windows? (I think there wasn't on
XP, but perhaps that's changed on Vista/Win7) I think it's %LOCALAPPDATA%
