"Right click My Docs and see if you can't figure out how to do that on Windows."
Been there, done that. Once you reinstall you have to go through (every user) and reinstate those "non-standard" My Documents locations manually, all the while hoping that each NTUSER.DAT file doesn't spit the dummy because something has changed in the god-forsaken clusterfuck that is the registry that it doesn't like.
No thanks.
"if you want the profile you'll have to right click my computer and change some settings in Computer Management."
You have obviously never had to re-instate a Windows box with multiple user accounts. You make this process sound easy, whereas in reality it can be a huge pita, which multiplies by the number of accounts you have to do it for.
By contrast, on Linux, you have to do . . . ummm, nothing
"On a network there is something called group policy and active directory that lets you set this for the entire domain"
