  * Changes in Emacs 22.1 on non-free operating systems
  
+ ** The HOME directory defaults to Application Data under the user profile.
+ 
+ If you used a previous version of Emacs without setting the HOME
+ environment variable and a .emacs was saved, then Emacs will continue
+ using C:/ as the default HOME. But if you are installing Emacs afresh,
+ the default location will be the "Application Data" (or similar
+ localized name) subdirectory of your user profile. This change means
+ that users will have their own .emacs files on shared computers, and
+ the default HOME directory is less likely to be read-only on computers
+ that are administered by someone else.

  ** Passing resources on the command line now works on MS Windows.
