Isn't the game just called Fallout: New Vegas, not Fallout 3: New Vegas?
I never really had a bad experience with GFWL. It did what I needed it to do for Fallout 3 at the time, and I installed it on drive C anyway. But, you're right, it's a lot worse than Steam in pretty much every way (which itself is a shame, considering how amazing XBox Live is). That said, Steam doesn't let you change drive letters at all for games you install using it, so in that respect, Steam actually does worse.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
