I indeed found the same problems with some programs, notably the problems 
with spaces (mostly some very old programs from the time that spaces were 
not yet allowed), programs which can only (partly) be installed on the C: 
partition.  It is my opinion that a neat system should be the first priority 
for also a programmer, even more for a Ada programmer, because neatness is 
one of the most important things that the Ada laguage forces on us.

On top of this, some programs refuse to install or work properly when not
installed on C:. Such programs are broken, IMHO, but installing anywhere
other than the default directory of the installer can be a crapshoot (no
idea how well-tested alternative locations will be).
