I'm not sure you're right about that; this is a copy and paste from one of
my Vista machines:

: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6000]
: Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
: 
: H:\Users\Administrator>echo %systemroot%
: H:\Windows
: 
: H:\Users\Administrator>

[On that machine, C: is the system volume of an XP 64-bit installation, and
E: is where Server 2003 R2 is installed.  I haven't a clue where F and G
went, maybe it skipped them when it saw the Linux partitions!]
