This article is the most useless thing I have come across yet. You could at least tell us HOW to remove the update instead of just complaining about it!

So you had 9.66 gig free before the update, and 10.94 gig free after the update? Wow, yeah that sure is bloated…

I just installed 4 patches to windows 2008 datacenter 64bit which showed up via windows update. Those patches are KB955020, KB951978, KB890830, and KB950050. Here are some stats showing my disk free space before and after the patch installs:

Before the patches: 10,379,200,137 bytes = 9.66GB
After the patches: 11,751,487,060 bytes = 10.94GB

Wow, difference in total disk size after the patch installs is 1.28GB! That’s almost as big as a Service Pack! Talk about a bloated OS…
