Wouldn't it behoove MS, to implement the /home concept (separating the OS from the users' data in different partitions) ?
Once I got "into" Linux, I never understood why MS did not implement this.
It would make it so much easier for all the support people (and users - who do their own thing)
Any ideas ?
This possibility exists for a very long time in windows (to be able to mount a ntfs partition as a directory) it is just not used by default, you need to do it yourself http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307889
Don't forget http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949977 which states
Important: These settings should be used only in a test environment. By changing the default location of the user profile directories or program data folders to a volume other than the System volume, you will not be able to service your Windows installation. Any updates, fixes, or service packs will fail to be applied to the installation. Microsoft does not recommend that you change the location of the user profile directories or program data folders.
