Why is the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Vista so large?

Returning back from yet another few weeks of merciless projects, I ran across this gem from the ASKCORE team at Microsoft.  If you are a Windows user like I am, you have no doubt noticed that the WINSXS directory in Windows 2008 and Vista is quite large. 

The Server Setup/Core Team explains why.
