Most of you know that I’m not a fan of M$ Windows – actually I’m not a big fan of Microsoft itself -, and after the last 2 nights, my hatred became more and more to this System – My laptop is shipped with Vista Home Premium -. An Operating System that is installed on 13GB! wtf. Let’s story this, when I boaught my laptop, by default the windows partitioned it into 2 partitions each got half of my hard disk. For sure I didn’t accept that and I repartitioned it after Vista finished installation into 20GB Vista, 30GB for my stuff – including 12GB+ of CATReloaded related stuff -, and almost 85GB for anything else, including movies, mp3s, IT Stuff..etc and the rest is for Linux and its swap. I’m working on a project, in which I have to install some programs needed SP1 for Vista, I found that I really need to update the system to install the last one, for that you need free 3GB on the Windows partition which had only 1.5GB. So I started to free-up some space, deleting some other programs, disk cleanups and defragments, when it reached 2GB.
