The Tyrany of the C Drive

I live in a land of vast computing resources.  My graphics card is more powerful than my first five or ten computers combined.  I have  384 megs of ram -- 20 times the size of my first 5 meg hard drive.  And I have 221 gigabytes of storage online at all times.  I live in the land of plenty.  Or do I ?

I don't.

I live in the land of the C: drive.  No matter how much storage I have, it is always somewhere other than my C: drive.  My big hard drives are N: and E: -- my C: drive is a paltry 13 gigs -- and its always on the verge of fullness.  I'm constantly moving crap off of C: and still running out of space.  So I even change the Windows default temp setting from C: to N: where I have over a gig of space and I still run out. 

Why Microsoft, Why?  Why in this land of plenty does my C drive still rule all.  There are way too many hard coded things that rely on C:.  Why ?
