Vista begins to look more like rubbish

Still no word from Microsoft

IT IS DISAPPOINTING TO REPORT that as yet, Microsoft has failed to reply to any of our questions concerning Vista. No doubt the company is beavering away and will have some answers for us in a few days.

In the meantime, could we add another question to our list? On this Vista Ultimate system, which is currently showing an uptime of just over 100 hours, the sidebar task - the thing that runs the gadgets - has clocked up 98 million page faults and over 40 minutes of CPU time.

This strikes us as quite a lot, especially as the only gadget running is the desktop clock. Perhaps someone could tell us why this is happening.

Thankyou for your attention. µ
