For me till now it was ease of upgrade... just change a symlink and some 
smallss stuff and I was up and running.....
For other's it was to lower the amouth of diskspace if you have 10 typo 
installation, you could have just one source.... saves you 450MB 
diskspace....

But now I think of it.... NTFS CAN make symlinks, isn't it? We don't all 
windows users use them?!?!?!
