What would make re-installing windows far less painful for the average user, is if so many items of software didn't think that they had to be on the same drive as the OS..

Sure one can force some of them to be "elsewhere"..but some are just stubborn and won't work anywhere else..and some insist that that is where their license files have to live anyway even if they can be persuaded to live on another drive..
