1Gb for an OS install? Taking the piss a bit!

# well if you think how cheap an 80Gb hard drive is
it's not exactly a burden.
Longhorn on the other hand, needs 1 Gb, just to do the setup, and then another 2.5 Gb to install into.

# Mmm, that's quite true!
And I suppose by the time Longhorn comes around 120Gb+ HDD's will be standard!

/edit - I had Win 98 on an 8Gb drive, that's why I think 1Gb is excessive!
