Oh? What about windows programs? There was a lot of problems with the
space for a lot of them. Still are if the program is old enough. But the
consept of "Program Files" is stupid. In a Norwegian version of windows
it is called Programfiler. No space. So if you install some software
that has hard coded "Program Files" you will end up with two
directories: "Programfiler" and "Program Files" which is very annoying.
