    Just Installed Windows 7

    Should I worry? Check the amount of free space on the C: drive right after the installation. No Photoshop!

    I'm not sure; is it good or bad that 5GB is taken?

    Just wait in 7 days after update and it will take up over 20GB

    Re: Just Installed Windows 7

    BTW, now what so many of you Windows 7 users are reading this thread: How much RAM does Windows 7 really need?

    Let's suppose you turn off all the bling-bling and stick to the basic XP-like interface .... Would 512 MB RAM be enough?

    I am asking this because one customer wants to use "Virtual Desktop Infrastructure" technology, e.g. the desktop OS'es would run as virtualized instances on VMware, Hyper-V or VirtualBox ...

    So to be able to plan this, I'd need to know if 512 MB per Windows 7 instance is really enough or if more would be a wiser choice maybe?

    Any comments on that?
