RE: (Windows Fiji - Screenshots)
While just about everyone else (except Gruffydd) has blasted Microsoft, Windows, Vista, and Fiji, no one has taken the time to notice the errors that the author has clearly made. For example, perhaps you did not notice any changes with media center, because this is still software in development. While most Microsoft applications are memory intensive, they are only created like that to ensure stability. (Start at any Microsoft Office program, and look at the memory usage if you don't believe me.) As for the CPU problem, the author failed to mention that it was NOT media center using all the CPU power. Look at the below quote directly from the screenshot's caption.

"Considering everything that MCE and Fiji is and has, it uses just under 50MB of memory space, which for a Microsoft product of this complex nature is nothing short of a miracle.

Make sure you check out the CPU usage at the bottom of the Task Manager though ;-)"


Perhaps he was running another program that was using the CPU. But as you can clearly see in that screenshot the Windows Media Center modules and components were NOT using the CPU.

Windows Media Center Modules and Components
ehmsas.exe
ehrecvr.exe
ehsched.exe
ehshell.exe
ehtray.exe


Don't believe me, take a look for yourself.
