More like 9 out of 10. They're consumers, most don't know how many cylinders their car's engine has, they probably don't know how to check the oil level. But 1 in 10 does, same with computers.

We've come a long way from when Windows drives HAD to be partitioned to work at all. It became easier for everybody to just shove everything into the C: drive. But that's dumb and inefficient and many other bad things (like making it harder to back up). Having everything in one partition makes it NOT work right.

Why don't all those people build their house with no walls, and just throw all their furniture and clothes and food and toys and entertainment devices... into ONE BIG ROOM?

Putting everything in C: is just wrong. But like liberalism, it allows people to not have to think.

Thinking is hard, you know what I mean?

Yes I do know exactly what you mean... Saw a counter top oven advertised this morning that even has a camera inside to take an image of the food you put in and then tell you what it is on a front panel. Potato, Carrot, Broccoli, Etc. With an app and device sync of course. I was blown away... Who would actually need food recognition software???

OK, how about 900 out of a 1000? Or 90 out of a 100?

I get it... 10% who can deal with more complicated PC issues is more realistic. But that still leaves that 90% :)

We just went through that C: drive backup thing with a friend who had Win 10. Almost two full days... but it was a big full drive and I think we had some data transfer speed issues. But once you pull that trigger and get half way...

I know this is an old thread but I had a thought. Could 11 be a hybrid dayglored? Planting the seeds of Linux in Windows for future expansion? Just wanted to pick your brain on this possibility. Probably on the wrong track but it was a curious thought.
