My boss wants to buy a tablet PC but is concerned about how much disk space
he should get. Can you tell me how much space is used by the operating
system for the tablet PC?
Thanks for all your help.

Only a little more than the standard Windows XP Pro installation, Ellie. He
shouldn't worry about disk space, because most Tablet PCs come with a
minimum of 20 GB hard drives, and the general trend lately has been 40- or
60-GB drives, minimum.

It's a superset of Windows XP Professional.. So slightly more than a nortmal
Windows XP Professional installation.

Anything over 10GB would be enough for less intensive use (it would leave
6+GB with normal MS apps installed), I would suggest 40GB or more.

The information is provided "as is", it is suggested you research for
yourself before you take any advice - you are the one ultimately
responsible for your actions/problems/solutions. Know what you are
getting into before you jump in with both feet.

Unless he or she is a very light user (never installs additional
software, never stores music or video) I would highly recommend that you
get 60MB, at a minimum. I suspect that you want this thing to stay
relevant for three to five years at a minimum and windoze is famous for
preferring an underutilized HD. More space is your friend and the
incremental price difference is nominal, especially if it's a business
deduction.
