If you want a ****ed Vista installation, go right ahead

history of ****ing up windows installations.

In the old days we had a clean win95 install, that was about 150 megs on a
1.5 gig disk, using 10% diskspace
Nowadays we have a clean 15 gig Vista install on a 320 gig disk, using about
5% diskspace.
A few tricks can reduce used diskspace in Vista:
Shut down system restore and use imaging software (Gohst, Acronis, you name
it)

Optional is to disable Hybernate

Remove hybernate related files.
Use Ccleaner to remove trash!
Google for more tricks.
My Vista, with tons of third party software installed, is now 13.5 gigs,
including a 3.4 gig pagefile.sys
