#130923 - If Windows were truly multi-user/multitasking ... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
it wouldn't be so difficult to STOP a process.
Every time I run my virus checker, which I do frequently, any process I start, including simply bringing up the task list to stop a process, takes 3-5 minutes. I run defrag every night, so that's not the reason. After every reboot, the first delete file operation takes 2-3 minutes and disallows any other operation to occur. That's not a sign of any sort of multitasking, time-sliced, cooperative, or anything else. The box in question, BTW has a 2 GHz CPU and 2 GB of ram. RE |
