Most of its problems came from 3rd party drivers and OEM's that wanted to run Atom class CPU's on it. Umm, if you think Vista is a downgrade from XP, You simply are not giving Vista enough credit.

I hate it when windows processes are rattling all the time for... god knows what. Keep it simple, keep it clean for the apps you use. Who needs a bloated bling bling OS anyway?

I like your self like to keep my process to a minimal,but my philosophy is that every one is different in there needs some process might be useful for one but not another and for those who don't care make sure you have a plenty of ram and time (LOL). My best advice would be, make sure its not a vital process that might effect your PC stability or security,from there the rest is fair gain. I will admit that i do like allot of that so called "useless junk", for example those previews when you pause on a .avi file. I'm guessing one of Microsoft aim is elegance.

Secondly any process you load into ram is using other system resources such as your system Bus and your CPU as a constant flow of information is required as the CPU maintains communication so as not to lose the memory locations of that stored data. Anytime you can disable an unneeded process your system reaps the benefits by decreasing the data flow to and from the CPU. Your only "WASTING" your RAM when you load it up with unneeded data, Ironically this is the very "REASON" Vista is an inferior OS compared to XP, it loads up your RAM and requires the use of resources that XP does not, that is why Vista decreases laptop battery life for instance, it requires to much processing from the CPU because of the crap loaded into RAM through the system processes. The author of this article is on the right track, you should do more reading on the subject, my P4 3.2 ghz OC'd to 3.36ghz (very mild OC at 5%) handles streaming just fine with only 2 gigs of RAM but I keep my processes cleaned up too. Maybe that is why you can't. Actually you DOWNGRADED from XP to Vista but welcome back to a great OS Vista is a bloated pile of crap compared to XP.

It is either Mac based / XP custom setups or Linux workstations for high end graphics No one in their right mind is going to be working with windows 7 in those markets, maybe in the home users.

My current sweet Audio workstation system

Intel i7
Xp pro ( lited edition ) 40 megs OF RAM USAGE!!!! with patched kernel to use more than 4 gigs of ram!!! yes these patches do exist!!!
8 gigs of ram ( 3 used for ram soft drive for tracks)
Internal Ram drive ( uses 8 gig of ram sticks) nice hardware for audio tracks
Main drive is a raptor 500 gig

Processes = 8+1 ( Sequencer Samplitude)

I have used and am continuing to run windows 7 because I have tamed the beast as I did with Vista as well
My other test machine

Windows 7
445 megs of ram usage
Running Processes down to 20
All moronic services disabled
Eye Candy disabled
Audio services disabled ( you don't need them to actually hear Audio from even videolan or even WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER WTF!!!! lmao)
Works in XP as well

Microsoft why don't you guys email me so I can show you how to build your next windows version? Is it any wonder why Linux is a freight Train coming at you ?
Look at Ubuntu and the work they are doing!!!!!

Microsoft your next Version should be as follows

-Workspaces PERIOD END OF STORY GET THIS CRAP IN!!!!
-Ubuntu type sliding apps with just the mouse to virtual spaces windows
-Depository for small apps and tools, NICE for your Office app demos!!! DUH!!!
-Depository for drivers!! DUH!!!
-NO MORE CLIPPY!!!!!! Everyone wants to shoot that thing
-Ram usage for down to earth Who cares if you have 4 gigs of ram when the OS is trying to use it up for what?? LMAO most idiotic thing I have ever seen!!!!!!
Ram is for Apps!!!! period! not be gobled up for just the OS
Run at mid 500 megs of ram
-Bring down the number of processes I did and now I like windows 7 – still use XP though for audio work
-Interface – UBUNTU!!!!! Simple and effective, we don't need a aqua clone
-NO AERO that crap uses 60 megs of ram – total use of Shell interface
-Kernel NO LIMITS ON RAM !!!!! wtf is wrong with you guys even apple knows people are aware that ram limits are Software licence limits hence why they are increase the support to more than 12 gigs now!!

WHY do windows vista/7 INSIST on running index services while you are working??? coulden't it just run it when the cpu is idle??? There are alot of services i kill on my computer... like superfetch, ready boost, index service. Take a look at linux and keep the OS light. Thanks for a excellent website. :-) I also like to kill off excess processes.

Even the massive RAM usage of the Media Player Sharing only happens because, hey, your system has 8Gb of RAM with almost all of it free, so why not using a big chunk of that to cache media? RAM exists to be used for something, not to be kept free just so the user feels happy when staring at the Task Manager. A good OS will use as much of your RAM it can - efficiently. Only a small amount of physical RAM must be kept totally free, so allocation requests from apps can be satisfied extremely fast (without even the work of dealocating some RAM from low-priority tasks like the filesystem cache). Having said that, I still disable unneeded services because I often run very heavyweight apps (I'm a developer) and my laptop has only 2Gb, and even if Windows can steal memory from inactive processes when I start something lik Oracle Database, this takes some time.
