I've been wondering how Vista (C drive, operating system only) could have grown to 68GB---

It seems that SOME vista's dont limit the size of system restore points storage folder,,

46GB of system restores was probably 40 too many--

back to a managable 22GB C drive.:D

22gb is still unbelievable though---:eek:

Restore points can come in handy:eek:

Glad I am using xp.
I have already filled 1.25 terra bites of my 2.75 terra bites of external disk drives.

I am quite happy with Vista,,
it seems a lot more robust than xp,,
I think I've had one BSOD since I built ROME,,

and that was early on,,

I was looking at a new game called GRID,, yes, its a driving game,,
but the specs require--
wait for it--

15GB of disc space
:eek:


I remember the original doom came on 5 floppies:p:p

I cant equate to an OS that requires 22GB when up and fully functional,,
yet I'd be happy to load a 15GB game,,,


go figure...

yea, but 15gb for something like a game is worthwhile....

1kb for windoze (or virtually any other micro**** product)........ gross waste!

Scary isn't it! I've got 2 1TB NAS units and 2 500GB USB drives without the 1TB+ of disc space on my PC's:eek:

And to think the first PC I used had a (from memory) 120kB 8" single sided floppy drive!
