Very enlightening! Until now, I also related per-user only with installs. Now with this info., I should be diggin in more.

Couple of queries:
1. If we term "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Local Settings\Application Data" as the new Per-User location, where does "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data" kicks into (based on XP)?
2. When you say, "Setup programs ... can loosen ACLs on anything not Windows Resource Protected", are we talking with the installation package install arena except WRP?
3. With the File and Registry Virtualization in Vista, when the UAC users are in illusion at folders like Program Files, are they redirected to CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA at their profile? How does this help with the per user security if all we are doing is re-directing?
