Well, if they don't *need* the space they shouldn't TAKE the space.
No software on my system has permission to create its own disk. If I
want another OS, I will determine the amount of HDD space to be
dedicated to it. If the software can't handle that parameter, guess it
doesn't get onto my system.
Jeezo, people! Even M$ doesn't have the b*lls to attempt that stunt,
stealing HDD space before it's even used!
