If they really wanted to solve the problem how about stop downloading ever DLL / EXE ever published though windows updates and only retain the ones used by the actual OS? It's pretty bad that the cache directories are larger in size than rest of what's on disk.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

The space thing is more about phones and other mobile devices and also the so-called "Internet of Things" (IoT). So, their efforts are and will be appreciated.

Cobblers.
It is about Windows 10, which will be pre-installed on PCs and laptops.
This is the text from the article:
"With current builds, Windows can efficiently compress system files. That gives back approximately 1.5GB of storage for 32-bit and 2.6GB of storage for 64-bit Windows. Phones will also be able to use this same efficient compression algorithm and likewise have capacity savings with Windows 10.
"We are also redesigning Windows’ Refresh and Reset functionalities to no longer use a separate recovery image (often preinstalled by manufacturers today) in order to bring Windows devices back to a pristine state. This reduces Windows’ storage footprint further as the recovery image on typical devices can range in size from 4GB to 12GB, depending on the make and model. Phones already have a storage-optimized recovery solution, so, unlike compression, this enhancement is only for tablets, laptops, and desktops."
It's all about the PC, with a couple of asides about phones -- in fact, the "refresh and reset", as they've chosen to rename it, has nothing to do with phones at all.
Get your facts right, before acting all superior.

Of course, it's about windows 10, but the reason to do it isn't for desktops and servers, it's for mobile devices and IoT.

I still don't understand why a serious Windows user needs a Start Menu. I hardly recall what it even looks like, and I'm still on Win 7, i.e. I have one somewhere. If it doesn't come up when I type a few letters into the search box, I open it using explorer.
Granted, I might have saved some time using said menu instead of having to google for where the SSMS exe is located, but that truly is how long forgotten my start menu is.

Because shortcuts to everything you install are put there, along with the most convenient links to some system stuff, so (even if it's only as a last resort) you can find all those apps that people have given stoopid, non-descriptive names for.
Some people prefer the "smarter" start menu, which does preferences and all that malarkey, but the KISS basic start menu is generally more useful, because there's less "mystique" to scare users off; it's just a bunch of nested lists of stuff you can access.
The main complaint, however, is what they replaced it with. "Revert to what worked ten times better" is the request of the day.

I was going to ask you what the feck is Blackbush.
I Googled it and now I know.
It has a different meaning down here.
I wish that I had have had your breakfast this morning.
All I had was a dingo's breakfast.
Happy Paddy's Day.
