Need more information about what’s in Winsxs, look here
I havent posted in a while because of work I am doing on another project but someone asked me about what comprises the \Winsxs store and it made me remember a really good blog posting done during the development of Win7 that describes where and how that space is consumed. I thought it would be a good read for anyone who isnt already familiar with it. It’s located on the engineering site here:
