28 services on a fresh reboot.
I can do 25 if I remove some programs.

Maybe for you but not all of us pretend to know everything, some of us are beyond our teenage years and therefore know we don't know everything. you will learn this as you get older. :2cents:

731048 2008-12-20 10:12:00 Vista on a laptop ... 80 processes! I think I win so far. :p



Yes, I know I can trim that down a tad, but I can't be bothered. :cool:


My Fedora desktop yonks ago had a kernel version that spawned a tonne of USB daemons each time it "detected" my card reader. Had 24,000 processes (daemons) running one stage until I sorted it out. :eek:

Wow, that's quite a few for an XP desktop !

It seems that Vista Laptops have quite a few more processes as part of their basic set up.

Probably one reason why those early ones sold by Hardley Norman etc with 512meg crashed a lot !
