Ok, either you are joking (but the wording doesn't make that very
clear), or you are just one of those antimicrosoft idiot/trolls. If you
were joking, then obviously the latter doesn't apply to you, though you
might want to make the joke a little more evident...

A fully patched Vista/Windows7 system might require as much as 7-8+ GB,
which is, what... about .9% of a Terabyte?

I'm not saying that 8GB is not ridiculously high for a core OS install,
of course it is...
