Or just in IT in general. E.g.: "We have to have a D:\ drive for applications!"
That's a rule that last made sense some time in the 90s, when it was feasible to format the system drive, reinstall windows, and then applications on a secondary drive letter would work as-is without any further steps.
In the era of 10 GB application installs that deploy several hundred system-shared components, this is a hilariously out-dated mandatory process.
Yet.
Everywhere I go. There it is: The D:\ drive with "Apps" as the volume name.
