NT architecture is multiuser. Unix is parent of multiuser concept. And i thing each user should have own "home" defended from other users. May be my opinion is too "unix". It is not important how to name home directory but multiuser concept is really important IMHO.
Perhaps I don't understand you, but NT (at least 2000 and XP) user exactly that. Suppose you have the users Alice and Bob under Windows you would have the following directory structure under Documents and Settings: Documents and Settings Alice Application Data My Documents Temp, etc. All Users Application Data My Documents Temp, etc. Bob Application Data My Documents Temp, etc.
There are also some other directories (like Default User and LocalService), but I don't know what their function is.
Under a Unix-like system this would be something like (supposing Bob is the administrator): etc (more or less instead of the All Users directory) home Alice root (instead of Bob, as Bob was the administrator)
So they are very similar, with my personal preference going to the Windows method as I find it a bit more structured and consistent.
