It is packed with government spyware to keep tabs on you. It was the secret upgrade they forced on software manufacturers last year.

In addition to the 2 Windows service packs, theres the following to take into account:
1. The windows Paging file (Swap file) that can typically eat up anything from 512Mb - 2Gb
2. Your User profile(s) and settings (Which are stored on a per user basis)
3. Constant windows updates (and their backups)
4. Additional System Restore points
It might be worth downloading and installing CCleaner to check for and remove any temporary files left over from any additional program installations

Windows XP needs a swap file for its smooth operation that gets bigger and bigger......may be thts the reason.
