Windows 7 Versions - Disk space Used

Is it just me that thinks Windows 7 takes a lot of disk space?
Someone took the time to clean install the different versions of Windows 7 and check how much space each took.

The results:
  • Home Premium - 13.1GB
  • Professional - 10.8GB
  • Home Basic - 10.71GB
  • Starter Edition - 11.16GB
  • Ultimate - 13.4GB

... I was complaining about Win7 RC tooking almost 8GB of space... and now I find that Premium and Ultimate versions take over 13GB.

Why couldn't Microsoft keep most of the unneeded files (90%?) compressed or something?
(or at least give use the option to delete all the "junk" and get it from the internet when needed?)

  2. Probabaly has the full "Ultimate version" in there as well, so that the user can unlock it when/if he/she upgrades. ;)
