on the company notebook I am still on windows 7. the disk is 250GB with more applications than office and many documents, diagrams etc it is now at ~170GB so you see 120 is not that much for windows. At home I have a virtual machine with windows7 where I run visio mostly but have the data on the share. I had to increase disk to 70GB recently after seriously cleaning up. I need to use that crap for money making ... oh and part of this 170GB is occupied by cygwin cause you need a more or less decent shell if you have to work with servers. regards
