An article on PC magazine (online) in the last few days indicates that almost 70 percent of the Windows files are there because Microsoft is too lazy to take them out and are not really needed for day today operations, or are used for optionally installed items, etc. Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.
