While not a slide show it does peg on of my cores at 100% while running. This is on a Phenom II 3.5 GHZ with a GTX 275 video card so I really do not think it is the hardware.
They became available after I asked my question. They also sold out very quickly when they did become available. But I do have to ask was it really necessary to be such a complete and total jerk?

In Windows Vista, a single application could hold a system-wide lock on the GDI, basically creating a bottleneck, especially if there are other applications waiting in line to access the graphics stack. While such a design decision may have been okay in the past, it's been re-engineered for Windows 7.
"This work also resulted in better rendering performance of concurrent GDI applications on multi-core CPUs. Multi-core Windows PCs benefit from these changes as more than one application can now be rendering at the same time," Chitre said, adding that the improvements worked to reduce response time issues. "Without the Windows 7 GDI concurrency, the rendering throughput of these applications is effectively limited to the performance of a single CPU core. Since only a single application can acquire the global exclusive lock while the others are waiting, this scenario doesn't benefit from multiple CPU cores. This demonstrates that GDI applications in Windows 7 are now much less dependent on one another."
I am running 7 on this box what slow downs should I be seeing? As far as I can tell it is very fast and very responsive.
You also overlook all the changes that Microsoft has made to windows over the past 7 to 10 years

No more crashes?
And who do you think I work for?
Why should you have the right to use my programs for free?

The Intel drives works great without any extra tweaking at all.
When you want information you ask politely for it you don't accuse someone of being a shill.
I so miss the /. of old.
It amazes me that on a site like /. such unsupported garbage is moderated as Interesting.
Then why does Intel and nVidia release updated drivers for devices no longer in production?
Why is that a problem?
Some people like having a physical record that they paid something
You make it sound like the iphone is free.

ALT+H PG Hold down ALT and it will show you the keyboard shortcuts.
Or the teacher and principle could punish those who use the phones in class.
That was in reference to the server division.
Is that the best answer you can give?
How exactly does a modern OS feel?

I ordered one yesterday. Guess you and the article got it wrong.
When will you actually be able to buy one?

People like you are the reason we have botnets.

How is Silverlight crap? Please be specific.
