The RAM requirements of Ubuntu and Windows 7 are the more important requirement to look at rather than the required disk space.
My installation of Vista took 7GB with no modification, not 15 (I still think 7 is too much).
Ubuntu may recommend 8GB, but that much is obviously not required so I have no problem with it.
And yes, I'm aware the RAM requirements are more important to the way something looks, but I said nothing about the way anything looks. I don't know why you mentioned it.
Bottom line: I still like Windows 7 so far.
My main system: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3.1Ghz, Nvidia 8800GT, 4GB RAM, Debian Lenny/Windows 7 dual-boot. My laptop (Compaq C700): Intel Celeron 1.7Ghz, Intel X3100, 1GB RAM, Ubuntu Lucid.
