If you produce a Windows computer that doesn't have its primary working hard drive mapped to C:, you will immediately break tens of thousands of installers, .ini and config files, readmes and troubleshooting guides. Some of these will break immediately and obviously, but others will just subtly misbehave in ways that no one will be able to diagnose until they decide to spend a couple of days really focusing on why their template upgrade isn't working as expected.

Most people will never get that far, they'll just return the computer to you complaining that it doesn't work. There's no way to a happy ending from that position.

So why should anyone attempt it? What's the point?
