Re: [DUG] A change in upgrade policy coming from Embarcadero

[Ian Drower]

Tsk, Tsk .. the wonderful thing about innuendo is finding out who's holding the story.. Which brings me back to one of the themes of this conversation .. The issue seems to be, what is the system up to...frequently when XP has been off doing something (other than responding to my app or keystrokes or mouse), the task manager will report "System Idle Process" 99%, and I cannot find out what its doing..both on startup and other times.. does the garbage collection have a part in this?
