Jeff and others,
As a user of both Windows and UNIX (FreeBSD), I think that the discussion is overcomplicated. There several things an application needs to know about the directories:
1) Where to put/find user-specific configuration-data. 3) Where to put user-specific caches.
For Windows they are:
1) Application Data\Company Name\Product Name in user profile (CSIDL_APPDATA) 3) Application Data\Company Name\Product Name in user profile (CSIDL_APPDATA)
