@kitten I realize this is probably just a joke, but still, I was in the Windows org at Microsoft from mid 2017 to late 2020, and I don't think I ever saw this.

@3geek14 @kitten I know Windows supports lowercase characters, it's just that the design philosophy seems to reject them...

@siguza @kitten There's definitely something fun about shouting %LOCALAPPDATA% at my terminal. But the directories are named things like "Program Files" in title-case. I've never yet sat down to think about which contexts I expect for which casings.
