Windows 8 developer preview uses 7 GB of disk space for installation
Hard disk requirement for installing windows 8 developer review is 16 GB, however while configuring I have chosen 8 GB of disk space, however installation used 7 GB of HDD space…. now it’s fair to understand why Microsoft has recommended to use minimum 16GB HDD for windows 8 developer preview?
Windows folder has used 6.95 GB
Users folder has used 48.7 MB
Program Files folder has used 102 MB
and some hidden folders

Do you believe that release version will consume less space then the developer version. I cant even think installing it on Laptop which has 80 GB total disk space.
