    what is even more funny about this is that the name of that directory used to be locale-dependent, so in sweden it was just called “Program”, completely nullifying that idea.

        The fucking parenthetical x86 absolutely kills me. I don’t normally wish dick cancer on people,

      It’s only localised in the file explorer. The actual folder name is always Program Files.

        Only since vista, it used to be localized.

          what about placeholders/variables like %localappdata%, %windir%, %programfiles%?

            I can only assume these always existed, otherwise it would have been a nightmare for everyone.

              Excel used to have, and I think it still has, localised function names.

              Makes it a nightmare to look up stuff on the Internet.

                Still does. Commas or semicolons as separators in functions differ at least. It fucking sucks.
