Not quite sure what is up with Windows XP. I just freshly installed Windows XP with Service Pack 2 included, and after the install on the brand new hard drive, it was already up to over 6 GB. I seriously think that Microsoft has gotten out of hand with these file sizes. As far as anything toget rid of, do a search on all of your local hard drives for a file called eula.txt. I was able to get over 60 of these buggers, and they aren't that big. Only 4 KB. thing is, even with the NTFS file system, a bunch of little files will take up a much larger space than intended. I was able to free up around 132 MB just deleting those little files, and they are nothing but text files, stating the laws about software piracy and that, and that you agree to not do it. I believe that the eula stands for End User License Agreement, but don't quote me on it.
