Default disk free space anomaly


Several times now, vista beta 2 tells me I'm low on space.
After I reboot, I have GB's of space back.

What's happening here?

The vista might have big "temp" file allocated to ensure sleep mode working.
Or hibernate if you wish. Also if you have 1Gb or less memory, Vista
allocates some hard drive space to use as swap. Yes, 1Gb seems to be small
amount for vista. Atleast until code has been optimized.

No, we're talking about 15GB of free space, dwindling to 0. When I reboot I
have 15GB again.

I have 1.5GB RAM.
