Which having spaces in usernames makes user-level security on network
shares a real PITA. You would think MS would follow other OS's and a
username generated from a fullname "John Smith" would be a more
reasonable:

john

johns

john_smith

johnMACHINENAME

...

anything but "John Smith"

It's pretty obvious Microsoft wants us to learn the
gentle art of "quoting stuff" to insulate. An OS
isn't an OS unless you've got "\"\" multilevel quotes "\"\"
around everything :-) When they weren't sure
"John Smith" would be a nuisance, they threw
in a "My Documents" to make sure. Oh, and
a "Program Files".

They finally dumped "My Documents" bs with a legacy link, but still
persist with "Program Files" and now added insult "Program Files (x86)".
I guess "c\programs" and "c:\programs32" with legacy symbolic links was
just too much to ask for.
