Last night I did a complete install of Microsoft Windows Vista. I used gParted to repartition and reformat the drive; this got rid of some weird partition that looked like Toshiba had put in place for maintenance or something.
Instead of using the behemoth OEM version of Vista that Toshiba had installed on the machine, I used the Enterprise version of Vista. This installed much smaller. I also turned off some services that I knew I would not need and managed to get the memory usage down to under 700MB. I've actually seen it get to below 600MB after boot up. Plus, I didn't have all of the annoying plethra of icons on the desktop.
