Why do you think that testing is done on a variety of equipment, software,
methods of installing, etc. You know one situation. When Vista is
installed from the desktop of XP, it assigns the drive lettering of the XP
installation. When installed from the Vista DVD it assigns C. Just for
starters. Obviously your single desktop doesn't show both options. Maybe
you could try another method of installing and see why generalising from
'my' installation would make researching the options advisable before
offering misinformation based only on limited experience.
