"just get some extra space"?

This sounds a lot like "just buy (more ram|faster cpu|etc)",  this is the
microsoft answer to fix a problem that is purely in software.

In any case what about the user who has 100's of gb's on slow removeable
storage (zip, cdr, etc)... tough shit I suppose? In the case of cdr the
conversion could end up being very, very expensive indeed -- not just the
media but the time involved.
