OT Windoze should come on it's own partition/drive to make backups easier

Almost everyone has a network now a days. If Windoze was on a small
partition/drive, you could back it up automatically everyday. If the
boot disks fails you could change out the drive and in a matter of min
be up and running again.

You could even buy slower drives for support programs and spend a
little extra money for the boot disk.

They should work on making a small killer fast drive for the OS.

This also means if the boot disk is the one that fails, all the other
data is still in place and ready to go.
