Yes.

But you could also give every VP/ix user his own "C:".

  Class of '93                    That is not dead, which can eternal lie
                                  Yet with strange aeons, even death may die.

One thing to be leery about (when thinking about giving each user her own C:)
is that any change to any file within the C: file causes the entire C:
file to be backed up.  This can get to be a problem when users start using it
for data files and such.

On our system each user can have thier own C:, but they are required to keep
all of their data files in a standard unix partition (as long as their software
still works).
