  /usr -> Program Files (hello spaces my old friends, you've come to break my apps again)
  /var -> ProgramData (but no spaces here)
  /home -> Documents and Settings
  /etc -> Control Panel

Spaces break things only in Lnux; Mac and Windows support them since beginning. Why should we write without spaces as if we were in 5th century?

Spaces are avoided on base Linux systems because they're clunky for terminals more than fear of outright breaking things. To the extent spaces there do break things, that also happens on Mac and Windows for the same reasons (hence ProgramData being conspicuously space-less).

    /home -> Users (it's not 1998 anymore)
