I went from 80 to over 120 after the install with the 500GB I'm using, I have around 200GB of movies and another 150 in games, If I need space I could make it.

I've been running the same install of vista for over a year so I know there was a bunch of crap on mine.

Good work on Microsoft's part. The biggest benefits of this will go to the netbooks.

Cool, I noticed that my free disk space went from 30GB to about 42 so I'm happy.

On a system with System Restore disabled, I actually lost about 1.5GB after installing SP2. Go figure.

My assumption is that the Vista SP2 installer automatically runs compcln.exe, but we have yet to receive an official explanation from Microsoft. Once we do, though, I'll pass it along. Obviously your milage may vary depending on your system, but I think it's safe to say that most everyone will welcome more free disk space.
Assumed wrong. I had to run it myself!

QFT, unless you were just testing and have a x86-64 for normal/gaming use.
