    Why these new OS are taking that much HDD. Isn't 20GB just for OS is too much?

    It is quite a lot. But I guess they're adding more features every time so they need more space :(

    Microsoft will only surprise me the day they develop a Windows programmed in assembler, so then it runs on a 486.
