Hey Adobe, Microsoft, Parallels, VMware Fusion:
Mac Dev Center: File System Overview: Where to Put Application Files:
It is important to remember that the user domain (/Users) is intended for files created by the user. With the exception of the ~/Library directory, your application should never install files into the user’s home directory. In particular, you should never install files into a user’s Documents directory or into the /Users/Shared directory. These directories should only be modified by the user.
(My emphasis).
