Is there a Panther folder in Vista?

While doing some prep work on the other computer I noticed that there
was a Panther folder in Vista.

Now, it may have arrived in there by user error (moi!). On the other
hand I wondered if there was a Panther folder in Vista beta (recently
had XP Pro installed over the top of it)?

I have a panther folder aswell. Clean install.
Having a look at the files I can read, it looks like some kind of
installation log.

Well if you look at the text files they seem to be regarding installation of
Vista.

Yake a look at setupact.txt in that folder - its a record of your Vista
installation.

This is a normal Vista folder. The log files can help diagnose setup
issues.
