Hi,

Every change has pluses and minuses.  I can't guarantee 100% benefits, only 
trying to make the case that the benefits here outweigh them.

Since we are talking about humans, I'd gather most of them trying to install 
something on Windows will have heard about ProgramFiles and not be too bothered 
at its inclusion in the path.

-Mike
