That's my question too. Maybe I'm just old, but 40 gigs is what, about 8 DVD-length movies or 400 hours of MP3 music? All that to display text and colored squares on the screen? I mean, I appreciate that there is a lot to the different runtimes, especially .NET, side-by-side DLLs, etc., but just a few years ago the entire OS came on a 700 meg CD. What's really scary is how fast I've seen my Windows installs bloat with service packs, side-by-side assemblies/DLLs, etc. It wouldn't take much for the entire 64 gigabytes to be swallowed by C:\Windows alone.
