It is true that NTFS security doesn't care about drives/partitions, but
there are some specific IIS bugs that are mitigated by not having any web
content on the OS partition.

What difference does it make to security if your Web server and OS are on
the same partition? If you have one NTFS partition with everything installed
on that drive, it is no less safe than having two NTFS partitions with the
Web server installed on the second and the OS on the primary. In Windows NT,
security is handled at the file level, not the partition level.
