Agreed. My other laptop has to dual-boot with XP. However, I only require it
for one application. I partitioned it with 8GB for XP system (no data) and to
my surprise the most basic install filled it to danger point. I could
certainly run a modern linux distro, with more applications, in the same
space.
More importantly, in linux, if you think something does install too much, you
do have a choice.

Looking at KDE 4.2, which seems to have sacrificed functionality for
good looks & an enhanced (but difficult to navigate & configure
interface), it seems a part of Linux seems to be moving the Windows
way (re: Vista's complex operation, non-intuitive functions & the
'aero' interface) ... choice in Linux seems to be going the Redmond
way (probably an overstatement, but now may be a good time for a
check).
Hope the next
OO.org will not present us a telly-tubby look with a 'ribbon'.
