I been thinking about the way SL's Directory Structure is set up on Windows. I know this isn't as important as fighting bugs and new features. perhaps when time is available? Currently each client is set up like this.
C:\Program Files\Second Life\
C:\Program Files\Second LifeAditi\
C:\Program Files\Second LifeFirstLook\

It's fine and dandy but since there are 3 clients, i believe LL should go ahead and put all 3 of them into a new folder at
C:\Program Files\Second Life\Linden Lab\

Of course each client would stay in it's own folder like normal. I figure reorganizing like this could make it easier on everyone in case Linden Lab chooses to make other programs Or if they chose to release the simulator software for some new plan. They could include everything in the same place. However, Mac and Linux both use different directory structures. I'm sure they could be reliantly done the same way since they both use folders. Feedback? Good idea? bad?

You can do this yourself during install. In fact, I *do* do this myself. SL remembers the settings so you only need to do it once.

Mac it's not a problem, we don't need installers on Mac. :)
