Well, yes and no.  If you look to see what Steve actually
did, he installed to C:\Program (not to C:\Program files
or to C:\TeX\Live or whatever).  Now having one directory
called C:\Program and another called C:\Program files
is indeed asking for trouble, so Microsoft's suggestion
to rename C:\Program to C:\Program1 wasn't entirely off
the wall ...  (Mind you, it will still be unclear to
many users as to whether C:\Program files or C:\Program1
will be accessible as C:\Progra~1 ... )
