Right. Because if you're only installing one or two machines, it's really 
not a problem to move stuff after the fact.

Actually, it probably doesn't need to any more, since the system does demand 
paging now. It really doesn't help to move directories on the disk relative 
to other directories just based on what they contain. Given things like 
superfetch, readyboost, and all that, the files don't get *read* 
sequentially, so having them particularly defragmented in a particular order 
probably doesn't make sense any more.
