Yes, I knew that, but as I said in my original post, I only installed Vista, 
on this spare  guinea pig system, so that I could use it to find out what I 
had to tell my friend to do, the "click here, now click there, what do you 
see?".

My rant wasn't about the amount of RAM Vista needs, but the amount of disk 
space it took for just a clean install with nothing installed other than the 
OS itself.

Microsoft's website says, and I quote, "40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB 
of available space".  I started with a 40GB drive that had 40GB free.  Where 
did the other 17GB go?
