That's a good point for those who depend on files in certain locations and
who use the registry.  I haven't had to do any of that type of stuff for the
Windows apps I've developed so far.  I don't ever expect a certain file to
be in a certain place, on either platform.  Best to assume it won't be
there.  There are some circumstances where you have to do that kind of
stuff, but I've been lucky enough in that I haven't had to resort to it.
Well, that and 90% of the work I do is on OS X Server Jaguar.  :)
