Windows Vista SP2 - M$ debloatware?
Just installed SP2 and found an extra 4 GB on my HD.
Which was nice.

RE: Windows Vista SP2 - M$ debloatware?
Isn`t that likely to be the 3 things
1) temp files it has extracted to install
2) backups of important files
3) a rollback point?
your windows directory probablay has loads more directories beginning $ containing backups of files that have been replaced
doing a disk cleanup in explorer should give you back that space, assuming you`re happy with it?

Did a clean up just to be sure, and it found me an extra 79 MB, which doesn`t really compare. I had a quick google, and quite a few people are reporting hard drive space being freed up compared to SP1.
I`ll give it a week and see if it fills up again before jumping somersaults.

I`ve just done a fresh Vista including sp1 install on my desktop PC, installing Vista SP2 on it now, I`ll let you know how it effects disk space.
basic vista sp1 install was 9.8gb
went up to 12.2 after installed sp2
rebooted
right clicked on C drive, properties, disk cleanup, delete restor epoints etc, C drive 10.3gb
