another vista question....

[Embio]

just to confirm, does vista absolutely need a 40GB hard disk partition in order to run (even if it does not use all of it)?

[piras]

No a 40Gb partition is not obligatory...you can partition to the size you wish.:)

[Embio]

awesome :) but then why do Microsoft state it in the minimum specs?

[Krevnik]

Because we can. Or more accurately... because we expect that space to be filled with common user-installed applications, and don't want the user to freak out when they can't get their apps installed.
