I always used to segregate my system disk, programs disk and virtual disk to different partitions or disks. With the advent of SSDs, I have finally embraced the Microsoft ideal of using C:\ for everything. I use the SSD for the system, programs and virtual disk and larger mechanical disks for "mass" storage.
When I segregated, I always imaged C:\, the system partition, and E:\, the programs disk. Now I just image the C:\ partition and get the system and programs at once. Plus, the speed advantage of SSD is put to good use. Each system has its advantages, so the choice is up to you! :) Neither is "wrong!"
