What takes up most of the space in the repo, is it just from code or are a lot of binaries in there? No doubt the windows code base is particularly large, but I would have though most of it would be slow moving.

This is speculation, but if they have design assets, sounds, videos, localizations, and other things that aren't technically code but are totally part of Windows, then I can definitely see why it'd balloon to that order of magnitude.
