Gottfried,

Even if you know you don't need 3.2GB, when you make your buy decision if all other factors (price, performance, etc.) are equal, will you buy the box that has 2.1GB HDD or the one with 3.2GB HDD?

I believe that software bloat is not currently the key driver for more storage capacity, but the PC guys still need to offer more GB per dollar amongst other technology innovations to keep the sales moving. Everyone is on the same treadmill, and anyone who fails even one innovation cycle is in jeopardy of disappearing. HDD makers as well as microprocessor makers and others are clearly in the same kind of race.
