Things like that are the reason why Windows programs suddenly break when
something is not installed to default location.

Are you even able to install microsoft crap in a custom location?

Microsoft has been reliant on hard-coded paths since before Windows,
and Windows 10 is no different.

There are lots of computers where there is no C:\Program Files, but for
example C:\Programme or C:\Archivos de programa.

Thats just ****wittery on the part of Microsoft. You wouldn't go into a
unix install in france or spain and expect to see /maison or /casa instead of
/home. Major OS paths should be standardised no matter what the locale.

Completely agreed. It should be possible for a user who installed a
system in English to switch it over to something like Spanish and have
all of the software translate as well without any negative consequences.
I'm not sure whether Linux allows it to consistently change on demand (I
doubt it) but Windows should have made it possible considering they
charge for the operating system.

Agreed, but unfortunately this does not change the reality.

Yes, that's exactly the idea. All programs are supposed to call the
SHGetKnownFolderPath() Windows SDK function to find out the current name
of such folders, so that they could continue to work after such switch.

If you move an app it should keep working.
