Let’s wait for CEOs to learn about the mess of Program Files\Program Files (x86), and how the user directory is filled with links replacing deprecated folders making it unusable. Windows is more of the inverted Babylon tower of hell than a consistent and complete vision of a product, one layer is built on top of another. That’s with all their $billions, millions of workhours and a market monopoly.

That’s mostly because of backwards compatibility, and it’s a blessing imo.

Or a forward compatibility, since they weren’t obliged to create these new paths, and they did, thus creating a problem for themselves.
