Installing apps on D: won't save you much when it comes to doing the regular 6 monthly Windows rebuild. They all install bits and pieces in %SystemRoot% or %windir% or %SystemDrive% and in your layout that's C:
I personally can't wait untill windows start using the ROOT partition and HOME partition and SWAP partition like LINUX do.
