At 8GB you must be running 32 bit Vista and not a lot of large
apps. If you have 64 bit Vista and MS Office and similar apps,
winsxs will reach 20GB, or more, in size. Winsxs will grow
as you install more apps.

hi,
I understand all of this, but really don't understand why all installed
applications are stored on this folder and Program files also... Well, for
normaly work on Vista we must assign 40-50 GB for system partition, even
there is only 5-10 programs installed. Very confused...

40-50 GB with only 5-10 programs installed is a gross exaggeration.
Mine is 46 gigs with 112 installed programs, 3 gigs of Documents and 3
gigs of Pictures. Music is on a different drive.

I have installed Vista on many computers in a 30 gig partition. Even after
installing some behemoth programs, such as Office 2007 Ultimate, I still
typically have 10-15 gig of free space.
How are you coming up with the need for a 50 gig partition? Please explain!

Winsxs (pronounced win-sucks) is yet another horrible band-aid
solution from MS. Instead of correcting the OS deficiencies, they
continue to patch it with half ass solutions.

Maybe you should take a class and learn how to use a computer. When someone like yourself
doesn't understand the workings of an operating system, he usually curses and makes negative
posts because he is frustrated. If you can't understand, take a class or get someone to help you.
