Yeah, that part which says "this compoent requires xx MB on your hard
disk" is about useless. You have to go to Disk Cost to see the actual
effect.
I guess the basic problem is that the cost for a feature depends very
much on which other features you install. For instance, if I go to
Add/Remove Programs, it tells me that Microsoft Visual Studio Team
Suite for Database Professionals - ENU (a.k.a DataDude) takes up 799 MB.
Maybe that would be true, if DataDude was the only Visual Studio thing
I had installed, but it's just an add on, which I have installed
separately. (DataDude is a VS component that is still in beta.)

If unpatitioned disk to spare, keep in mind that you can add a partition
as a mount point, so you could move for instance C:\Windows\Installer
out from the system disk.
