WinSxS
The tool has not been updated for 64bit because like us, the developers know its going to kill your Windows installation :shock: whs;1094905 Wrote: It's unbelievable, after all that has been said you still want to crash your system. I agree, also considering 1 TeraByte (1000GB) hard-drives can be purchased for less than $150 that anyone would care about the size of the WinSxS folder. -- dmex '[image: /presenceimage?mkt=en-AU]' (http://settings.messenger.live.com/C....com&mkt=en-AU) |

I really dislike the "it's cheap, buy new"-mentality a lot of people seem to have. Buying a new disk just because you want to have a reliable OS? Kind of an outdated idea that we should abandon and try to minimize. Yes, there are ecofriendly HDDs but still they need to manufacture an HDD which consumes energy etc. And what about all those old HDDs that people to not take time to dispose of correctly? Today, a lot of people are online with a high speed connection; why not, if MS cannot code space (and speed) effectively, offer an on-demand online winsxs-folder? Much better than forcing millions of people upgrading their computers with new HDDs filled up with lots of unused files. I for one, do not bother about all the backgrounds, games and addons shipped with Windows by default. I can be offered those when I ask for them instead. -- salsim |

You are aware many are hardlinks and so take only a directory entry.
