This is impressive, but other parts of Windows are so dreary. Installs of apps that throw up all over the disk, Windows Updates that mysteriously fail in unrecoverable ways 87% of the way through and cryptic error codes and procedures to dig yourself out of the jam (before you must reinstall).

This seems like a norm for most operating systems. Linux mixes files from all sorts of apps all over the place, for example, and a `make install` might put files anywhere.
