I am up to 1.7G on a 2.0G partition.
This is assuming you are only using it for you os.
Remember that some programs will not ask you where to install and before you know it it has dumped its programs on your root drive. If you have a little more room, it will handle it and you can remove it later.
Also some applications you may want to reside on the os partition.

That is why mine has grown from 1.5 to 1.7 so far.

2.4 of 4.0GB used ... and you all know I'm a partition freak. I only have the OS and program files on that volume; no games and no personal files ... and no page file.

Microsoft advises 1 Gb for professional and 2-3 Gigs for server and andvanced server.

Mine's 1.5G. About 1.10G is used. Besides the OS, only 2K-specific apps are on the partition. No page file either.
