    I have a laptop with Vista Home Premium. I noted that the disk space used by Windows Updates is greater than the actual size of the updates, eg. 870MB of disk space was used 14 Microsoft Office 2007 Updates, size 204.2MB.
    Is this normal? If not, how can I release some of the space?
    I have only 15.9GB in disk C.

    Are you trying to say that although Windows Updates lists an update as 204MB, when you actually install it, it uses 870MB of space?

    This may be because you also selected the other recommended updates that you didn't notice.

    Anyway, a great program to free disk space is called CCleaner.

    You can check it out at www.ccleaner.com

    It does erase your Firefox and IE history so if you don't want that erased, make sure you unselect those, or any other options.
