i just re installed windows7 over my morning coffee, and then did the "fix", but had to run to work. i'll check out the task manager and see what's what when i get a break.

I haven't messed with it much, but it kinda just seems like Vista 2 to me. Admittedly, I never really messed with Vista much either, but I honestly can't even tell the difference.

1gb RAM usage idle? Is that the way the OS is set up, like Vista was?

Try not to think of it that way. Think of it as one big 'container' for the background running bloat.

Well, to each their own. If you have a spare HD you're not doing anything with and want to check it out, go for it. However, if you've used Vista and didn't care for it I doubt this will impress you.

But that's just my opinion.
