I've noticed the same thing many times. I use my winbox for games and because I am the only Linux-knowledgable person in the house, cannot convert it to Linux;( Anyway, no matter how much space you really have on a partition, the apps (especially installs) almost never see more than 2 gigs of it, leaving you with annoying error messages (if you're installing a huge game..I installed Baldur's Gate completely to my HD for over 2 gigs) and also, if the user isn't sure what's going on, he or she wonders WHY they are supposedly missing gigabytes of space.
