    Which Operating System occupies more Hard Disk Space?

    Which Operating System occupies more Hard Disk Space?
    I am currently having Windows98 and I want it to upgrade it. I have 15GB Hard Disk space and 128MB of RAM.
    My question is can I upgrade it to Windows XP or WindowsNT or Windows 2000.
    Which one will eat LESS HardDisk Space. Is it WindowsXP,NT or 2000?

    Please let me know. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I think it will be, (going from greatest to smallest)

    XP, 2000, NT.

    Get a new harddrive. XP takes up 3gb at the most, so you'll be able to run it on a computer with 15gb, but remember XP has high requirements.

    Put Windows 2000 on it, Windows XP will not run well at all with only 128MB RAM and Windows NT has hardly any driver support and is too old.
    I use Microsoft Visual Basic 2005. (Therefore, most code samples I provide will be based around the .NET Framework v2.0, unless otherwise specified)

    Yeah, but it is quite unusable, although, my sister has it on hers, it is the absolute minimum requirements, and for what she uses it for, it's fine, but you wouldn't catch me on it (P233MMX 128MB RAM)
