So when Microsoft were talking about having a consistent experience between tablet and PC, I didn't think this was what they'd be thinking of. This reminds me of my current desktop, which I ran out of space on the SSD almost immediately and then spent an instructive half-hour cutting down swap space and getting rid of the hibernation file. Seems like the first thing to do on a Surface would be to find some way of freeing up that space.
I feel a bit mean poking fun at Microsoft now, but honestly, it amazes me that they'd think it was acceptable to take up half the hard drive of your tablet - especially given that storage space is one of the major metrics that mobile devices are sold on at the moment!
