Vista inconsistency(?)



I'm not Vista user, so what is described below are the information from
a colleague.

It seems, that there is inconsistency in directories naming; there is a
difference(?) between naming convention in Win 95/98/NT/200x/XP - and Vista.

The former have "localized" directories names - while Vista seems to have
just pure english terms as directories names. As a consequence, there is
inconsistency between real directory names, and those taken from "env"
output. For example: a friend of mine has login "Mirek" on his Vista. His
"documents" directory has real name "C:\Users\Mirek\Documents" - while the
name "env" reports is: "C:\Users\Mirek\Moje dokumenty" (and it will be true
for _former_ versions of Windows).

The above needs verification, as I'm not Vista user, and cannot verify this
by myself. If this is true - there's a question, is it a permanent change,
or just "passing phase" - and in the future the directories names will be
"localized" in Vista as well, like in earlier versions.
