Re: Vista



Hi, the thing will shrink when it gets published.. Atm most of the stuff is
built with debug symbols.. But even if you manage to get it down to 1,5
gigs, MS Office is coming to eat the rest of your harddrive.. (Heard
somewhere it gets to 8gigs for the full installation)

Looks like Vista is out (as a beta). The 64 bit version is a bit
intensive at 4.4GB for the installation DVD.

I cannot imagine many people will be willing to spend the kind of
diskspace that Vista will demand. I imagine 4.4GB will blow up to
around 20 - 40 GB when it's installed.

Will there be enough room on the average laptop for Vista and Delphi?
Or for that matter, Vista itself? My laptop has a 40GB drive and I
cannot imagine Vista running on it - even though it is 64bit!
