    Ah, yes, according to IGN, 93GB of the disk space is actually required/reserved by the os partition.

    That's a joke right?... Windows 8.1 takes 8GB. Get your facts straight, after install Windows 8/8.1 is no where near 10gb on fresh install.

    Keyword: Fresh.

    it'll balloon with updates and hotfixes as the sidebyside index changes.

    With updates is not expansion on Windows. It replace and fix bugs. It is still no where near 10GB. I take that you don't touch computer that often. Basically you're a computer literate taking claim as you know everything.

    The definition of fresh is when you have no other program installed. Yes it will get big as you add games into it. That is common senses.

    Matter of fact, you were replying to the PS4 OS post, I don't know how are you end up adding Windows OS into the topic. Two different OS system and size you can't compare. Apple to Orange.

    You're relying on IGN source.. basically you're just computer literate.

    Uh, no. Windows keeps copies of many files in the system in the off-chance that an application requires a particular version, this is better known as the Side by Side (SxS) Configuration.
    FTR, the WinSxS folder is not an actual folder, it is a junction to various files about the drive.

    Yes, and sometimes it introduces them

    Lol... games.

    my windows drive has absolutely no games on it and 99.7GB are consumed (30 by the Windows folder alone).

    You're relying on IGN source.. basically you're just computer literate.
    ^.^ i decompile and write code to run gaming console emulators on the PC,
    I know more about them you do.

    Come talk to me in 4 or so years when your existing windows install grown to 30GB's (not including the programs folder directory) due to WinSxS expanding, MSVC updates, sdk updates, Driver updates, and general program software updates served from the microsoft website.

    I doubt you will, as a majority of people can't even keep their windows installs running properly 12 months.

    As for disk sizing, i missed an i between G and B.

    A 500GiB hdd has between 464 and 466GB 466GB total space. (1GiB advertised is actually 0.9313 GB in reality).

    Of that 466GB, the installed OS uses and reserves about 58GB, or 93GiB.
