Actually it's a cyberpower system. Don't really know if that qualifies as OEM or not. After several hours on the phone with microsoft tech support we got everything installed (including SP1) and all pertinent updates with 8 GB left on my 30 GB ssd. This is definitly better than full, but 20+GB still seems like a lot. MagicAndre: I've already deleted the sp1 backup files using the disk cleanup wizard. I'm not really sure what DISM.exe does so I'm a bit hesitant to use it. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Firstly, please forgive my ignorance. I recently bought a new comp and it has a 30 GB ssd - which, after updates is completely full - with only win 7 stuff. I really don't want to buy another ssd, so if someone could help me make win 7 smaller I would greatly appreciate it. I've seen references to both vlite and rt7lite. Which is better? And how do I go about it? Again, sorry for my ingnorance - newb, what can i say. . .
