Mainly for compatibility reasons. If Windows does it that way, so would do
Windows apps and drivers, depending on it. If we change this default
behaviour, even with introducing some kind of aliases for the previous one,
we risk breakage, that would could be hard to determine/locate. When ReactOS
gets stable enough, i see no obstacle to change this, but right now, let us
not put too many mushrooms into single basket.
