Programs picking up the wrong version of the DLL and failing with little 
or no explanation available to the user (whom will, likely as not, fail 
to provide a useful report to the developer, if they bother to report it 
at all), for one.

Alot of problems with pure-Windows programs result from Win32 not 
globally forcing this one-copy policy itself.
