from my personal experience, twenty gigs is plenty, you will get all your updates and have plenty of room for you programs as well,

i personally use minimum of 50 gigs partition for windows xp.

i have big hard drives, i do this on all of my pcs, and then use bigger partitions for different files, i have one for music only . one for videos only and one for pictures and i have changed the drive letters to correspond ie drive V for video , drive M for music, and drive P for pictures , and drive D for documents

but this is the way i do it, you do not have to follow my way, but just use about 20 gigs for xp

I'm not sure about how much space Visual Studio will take, but I think about 10 Gb will do fine. Add another Gb for each 512 Mb of RAM you have in your computer, so you'll have room for the swapfile.
10gb
seven is plenty
why bother, youre already using linux, get a different release. i use linspire xp2007, and run windows applications in a VM shell.
If you can manage 10 GB would be sufficient but i would like to know why you want 3 OS on a single machine is it really necessary ?
