Default How big should my vist OS partition be?
I'm putting vista on one partition and everything else on another. How big should I make the OS partition. It's 64-bit and pretty well stripped to bare-bones.

Yea I'd say around that if you're not really putting anything else on it. I just checked the WINDOWS folder (main system files) and its only about 8.5Gb.
