Vista …. as usual

Vista seems to enjoy gobbling up space it is currently using up around 25GB of my C: which is almost nothing but the OS ..! I think it is not meant for lower mortals like me to understand why I require a whole cache of all dll’s and all the junk even if they are outdated. The winsxs(Windows Side by Side) folder is currently occupying 8GB.

I think windows should stop helping people about how to manage space. It’s not that I am running out of space, but it’s just the realization that I am running an OS that uses 1GB RAM to run, 20GB of hard disk space for installting itself. Comparing this to my Arch, RAM usage (usual) about 185MB other than the NVIDIA and 3.7GB(mainly because of emacs and openoffice … other wise it was about 2.9GB) of current installed size.

I am again in a quandary as to whether i should remove vista from my laptop or not !
