I feel that the low end PC with a 2 gig hard drive will support all software the average home user needs to run at this time. When Microsoft finally gets Windows 98 on the market new software will appear and this software will require more disk drive space, as the internet becomes more interactive this will also require more disk drive space. Most companies are networked and the software is running off the network server thus the need for large hard drives is limited because a workstation install takes up very little space to run Office 97, Lotus, etc. Just a few ini files are required with some software so it is the home user who will require the larger hard drive and most of them will be buying the low end pc. Most CAD is run off the AS400. There really hasn't been any must have software hitting the market recently. Most new software gets larger and larger in the amount of disk drive space required. I have a 5 gig hard drive and still have 2 gig free with all the software installed and all the graphics and audio files I use for homepage design. I see a big need for the network server to have a larger and larger amount of storage space but most companies have 1 or 2 servers and 100's of workstations.
