"In a word, yes. Any game which does that won't fit that criteria because Vista does not let programs write to anything but the Documents and Settings folders by default."
WHAT?!
That's insane!
Does this mean every user on a PC now has to enter the registration code for an app so they can run it? Cause apparently the registry too is also now per user. That means there's nowhere for an app to store data that applies to all users. And that means you can't register an app in a way that it runs for every user on a PC. That being the case, each user would have to enter the registration code for each app themselves when they go to run it the first time!
On top of this, it means you can't unpack OGG files so that the program loads faster on subsequent loads as I'm doing now.
I don't know what other ramifications this has, but I'm sure there are many.
