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?)

i am curious why starter edition consume space more than professional version..hmm...
ReplyDeleteProbabaly has the full "Ultimate version" in there as well, so that the user can unlock it when/if he/she upgrades. ;)
