One thing to be leery about (when thinking about giving each user her own C:)
is that any change to any file within the C: file causes the entire C:
file to be backed up.  This can get to be a problem when users start using it
for data files and such.

On our system each user can have thier own C:, but they are required to keep
all of their data files in a standard unix partition (as long as their software
still works).
