I downloaded "Universal Windows app samples.zip" (60.7MB) from Microsoft. My Downloads folder is on a Seagate GoFlex Home 2TB network drive mapped to drive S:. It took a little while to download - not terribly long. I decided to extract the file today to look at the contents. Because the 240GB capacity of my SSD is relatively limited, I extracted the contents to the network drive. I know that's a lot of LAN traffic. The connection is gigabit, but it took aaaaages to finish extracting. FAR longer than it took to download. Then I selected the extracted files and brought up the properties...
?!?!
That's obscene! About 0.1GB is occupying 100x the space on the hard disk! I understand that most of these samples are tiny little text files, and a few tiny resource files...but there must be a better way to work with these files that won't occupy so much storage space.
Ho-lee $#^...
