Unless you are planning on running Vista on like a 20gb hard drive or something, who cares about how big it is? The final install is over 10Gb, but when common hard drives are 200Gb+, does it really matter? Why not just install the full Ultimate and see whats there.
I would like an accounting of what that 10GB consists of, it's generally not a good sign in software when it gets 5 times bigger and has nothing to show for it. Are they making it easier for viruses to hide?
I have little interest in ultimate sx gx sfx supra premium anything, I was just curious if they had done anything to fix some windows problems yet, to see if 64 bit support made anything faster, not yet another fancy gui which I can get for xp if I want today for $$$ less. Having to reboot a lot apparently wasn't an issue they addressed yet, changing workgroup name shouldn't require a reboot, it's just a bit of text. I wasn't even looking and found that one. I didn't test formatting a floppy or accessing a cdrom to see if that locks up vista yet, if they fixed that one that would be cool.
