Daniel suggested these defaults on Windows:

  "That suggests to me that they live in the “ProgramData\PuppetLabs
\Puppet${Type}” namespace on Vista+" [1]

I agree that this is a good location, especially because standard
users only have read access to the ProgramData directory. Also since
our upcoming Windows release is targeted at Windows Server 2003 and
2008 R2 and will support puppet agent only, I'd like to propose the
following defaults:

When installing puppet, default destdir to %PROGRAMDATA%\PuppetLabs
\puppet, and create subdirectories underneath. For example,
%PROGRAMDATA%\PuppetLabs\puppet\conf.

And similarly for facter, %PROGRAMDATA%\PuppetLabs\facter.

Thoughts?
