are the days of separating OS partition and data partition over?
I've been thinking about this. With the advent of so many backup software products as well as the built-in System Image/Backup in Win7, do we really need to go through all the trouble to have separate partitions for OS and data?
Sure, if you have a 100's of gigabytes of music or video or pictures, then it might make sense to move that off the OS partition otherwise your OS image will take forever (and the associated disk storage).
Look at it this way. If you have a ton of data, dragging 25G of OS stuff along with that data backup/image is no biggie.
