User error.

Vista idles at 1% per core on my dualcore, and 1% on my laptop.

To add:

I've got 32 Bit Ultimate SP1 stock configuration (nothing disabled from initial install besides UAC) and I'm sitting at 1-3% CPU Usage (I have foobar 2000 running).

I have 6 tabs open on FF, steam running, AIM running, watching youtube and posting on ATOT and my CPU usage is 2%

Well I guess I was being unfair then with my stats:

I have 2 windows of Firefox open (37 Tabs in one, 52 in the other), Pidgin, a Microsoft Word Document, TVersity (idle), ESET NOD 32 (idle), and Foobar running and I'm sitting at 1-3% usage.

shens.

Toilets in Russia look more like this

they prefer to squat, and therefore have horribly filthy public restrooms.

I suppose they could be trying to modernize in parts, though...

Thing is, an OS shoulod have low footprint. The resources that we spend tons of money to put into our systems, we want to see them put to use. Vista sitting idle using 40% cpu is not putting those resources to good use, when XP will idle at less then 1% and programs will get more cycles.

What the hell are you talking about?

the amount of misinformation and ignorance in vista threads is appalling.

Then you're doing it wrong.

Stop and think: almost all of us are using Vista with no hangups. It's you buddy.

its fast when i just do a clean install, once i load my apps on it (very few), it slows down.

same thing on my dads macbook pro, and my brothers imac 3.06Ghz...it just hates us i guess.

im anxiously awaiting for windows 7.

If it's fast until you load your apps its a problem with your apps, not the OS.
