That's way off the mark!

On my Vista Business installation, just the Windows folder (and all of
its sub-folders) takes up 16.5GB. Microsoft states the minimum is "A
20GB hard drive with 15 GB of free space," (but fails to make it
immediately clear that that is for Vista Home Basic) and that doesn't
allow much room for anything but the bare bones OS. The official
recommended minimum for Vista Premium/Business/Ultimate is " a 40GB hard
drive with at least 15 GB free."
