It's funny: for an OS with so relatively few "flavours" and versions,
the number of quirks and bizarre behaviors is quite remarkable. I guess
the text matrix isn't small, though:

Windows
XP / Vista / 7 / [8]
32-bit / 64-bit
Basic / Home / Pro or Business / Enterprise / Ultimate / Embedded
On a domain / standalone
Local admin account / non-admin account / UAC admin account
[too many different antivirus products to list]
Service packs
*endless* possible group policy configurations

... so it's not too surprising to see hard-to-reproduce weirdness
popping up.
