I don't think Windows can understand how a directory on a "drive" can be larger than the "drive" itself.



I disagree.

On Windows XP (and 2000?), you can "mount"

Well not really. The drive must be "Dynamic" . This is something I have not looked fully into, but it is not a traditional partitoning thing. Also, I'm not certain that mapping \\server\c in your example below would change anything from the remote computers' view.
a local drive in a


directory. This means, that C:\Appl can be a complete partition.
Suppose that the partition holding C:\ is 2GiB small. Suppose
that a new partition has 50GiB left. If you mount that new
partition in C:\Appl, you've got the situation that the
directory C:\Appl is larger than the drive holding C:.
