I'm not sure I agree that windows makes it easy to find executables. They have the same situation with "system" binaries in different places (/windows, /windows/system, /windows/system32, x64 vs i386 in different places, etc, etc. and even less justification for those choices. Regardless, what windows does or does not do is irrelevant, as is windows (sry ... couldn't resist).
