Whenever I tell people I hate Microsoft, they call me a sony fanboy. Realistically, me saying that I hate Microsoft does not mean necessarily that I hate the 360. I hate microsoft because of something that started long ago... Windows.

Since it was first invented, Windows has been the fattest operating system of any existing OS. Windows has always been known to only work at a descent speed for the first month or two that you have it on your computer, then to really slow down, until in about a year and a half or so, it takes 5 to 6 minutes after boot up to actually have enough free resources to do something.

I have recently upgraded my Messenger from the old MSN messenger that came with XP SP2 to the newest Windows Live Messenger. It was at about that time where I could never do anything on my computer. I wanted to know what it was that was suddenly hogging the 1 GB of memory I have on my computer. So, I downloaded this program from Download.com, Sysinternals Process Explorer, and found out that an instance of svchost.exe was runnning constantly in the 90 to 95% of CPU Usage range. However, because that instance of svchost.exe hosted many core Windows elements, such as Windows Audio, Windows Time (the clock on ur start bar), and the Graphic User Interface (GUI), it was not as easy as just killing it. I had to figure out exactly what was using that to take it up. So, I started by shutting off my wireless adapter. Didn't work. Then, I shut off all my antispyware and antivirus. Didn't work. Then, I shut off explorer.exe. Didnt Work. Finally, I closed Windows Live messenger. Instantly, my CPU usage plummeted from 95% to about 5%, and stayed about that low.

Boy will my friends be pissed when they find out I uninstalled Live Messenger.
