Mouse has tracking troubles on multi-coloured pads, If you has small-medium hands it is palm or claw grip mouse. For large handed people only claw, go and buy ec1 if you want to palm.

Can someone tell me the install size of Windows 7? I need to know how much space it takes up to plan my next harddrive purchase.

I'm not sure but I know that it takes up less space than Vista. You should be fine with pretty much any SATA hard drive.

EDIT: This site says a clean install is 4.81GB.

I was planning to get a SSD to just put my OS's on. I plan on installing Vista Home Premium 64-bit, XP Home 32-bit, and then Windows 7. Vista and XP together are around 20GB, so if W7 takes up ~12GB, I can get a (fairly) cheap 32GB SSD.

Excellent. According to this, I should be able to fit it all on a nice, neat $100 drive.

Thanks!

I have a vlite version on win7 running on a dell mini9 with a 8 gb ssd. After removing the features I don't need and disabling hibernation it only takes up about 4.5 to 5 gbs.
