Nope, that was wat Sony took for all kinds of rescue stuff. After that we were still looking at Windows and various Adobe Software plus scratch (working with external drives for storage, naturally).

90 GB is what was left, not what was used. But even 38 GB seems a bit too much for a fresh OS, I assume that includes a recovery partition or the good old GiB/GB mix-up.

> GiB/GB
That's only 7%

Was it some sort of Sony-only release? I've run every major version of Windows over the years and never had one come anywhere near this sort of size.
> e) it still ran Windows
Your "e" item indicates that it was not Sony who took 90G of the 128G SSD, but rather it was Microsoft who took 70% of the drive space.
Lay the blame where it belongs, on Microsoft, they created an OS that consumes 90G of disk space. Sony did not create mswin, Sony just installed it because it is what most of their target market believes they want pre-installed.
