I installed Vista on a spare 20GB HD I had lying around. Used up about 9GB after installing Vista Ultimate.

9GB only?!?! Then why on earth does Microsoft say Vista needs 40GB of free space. And what's the additional 15GB for? Why don't they just state 55GB instead.... sweat.gif
How much partition space do i actually need for just installing Vista Ultimate and programs?

Attached Image I got this from http://arstechnica.com. The table shows upgrade options from earlier versions of Windows to Windows Vista.

I read somewhere in the newspaper that the free upgrade promotion only applies if you buy XP Media Center (free upgrade to Vista Home Premium) or XP Pro (free upgrade to Vista Business). You don't get the free upgrade if you buy XP Home.
