For OPs needs, certainly. But if u need sand box your test system or added redundancy, i think that idea is brilliant option. Ultimately i would like to run my HTPC with four logical drives (which each could be composed of several physical drives truogh RAID, but which each would be atleast one separate physical drive)
1 Real operational system.
2 Redundancy system, bit per bit copy of drive one.
3 Test system...to sandbox volatile on-development xPerT versions, to guarantee that development has no ill affact on WAF (wishing i had to care about that one...)
4 for local media content accessible for all system on other drives.
Now i would like to ask u guys, if im gonna do this, where do i stand legally? i mean i most certainly dont wanna pay for 3 licenses of WinMCE OS for this... Anybody knows if machine tied OEM license is sold per machine, or per installation basis? And how does posible win spyware interprent this? Will i be blacklisted cause itll call home from 3 separate installations? or is their spy smart enough to report three installation run on separate times with same machine configuration? i hope theres micro$oft employe here who can answer... but i doubt nobody has actually guts to admit working for that company...
