There's a moderate chance you'll be banned now. Thought I'd let you know.

I count 14 things that don't need to be running on there. You suck at math.

Running your computer on idle, meaning not doing anything, means you should be running no more than two or three processes that do not start up with a clean windows install. That is, IF you're someone who is bitchy about excess processes. It doesn't really make any real difference most of the time. You, however, specifically pointed out that you don't like extra processes running and then show that you have all KINDS of non-essential bullshit running on there. Software update monitors? And more than one of them?! REALLY?! You think you have any room at all to talk about too many processes?!

I specifically pointed out that there was, and is, no need for multiple instances of the same process save for service host.

There is no reason for a pissing contest here, but if you wish I am game.

Shouldn't I be the one saying that? You can't start an argument and then declare that you'll go along with it! For god's sake, man, have you even read the argument protocol section of the handbook yet?

You know if you burn yourself with hot wax and peel it off, the first layer of skin comes with it.

Maybe YOURS does. If you knew what you were doing your skin wouldn't just come off so easily. My skin stays attached and in working order until it is removed.

I like hot wax. But really I think the point "there shouldn't have to be two copies of processes" is a bit of a silly one. Some need two for good design reasons as I outlined in the other truck. And feel for me, I'm on x64 Vista! I've managed to get it to 54 with a small amount of tweaking, but that was mostly uninstalling all the crap it came with.

EDIT: 54 running processes that is. Including task manager and FireFox at the moment.
