That might be it, but I think it's mostly Windows that's more "loaded" with myriad software "pieces" (sucking CPU cycles and hence power). One hint it's when you boot the two OSes: on my iMac OSX 10.6 it's operative in less than one minute (55"); OTOH, Windows 7 on the same iMac takes at least 2-3 minutes to be responsive. And it's not because of my hardware; on my girlfriend's relatively recent Core i7 laptop, Windows takes around the same time (2-3') to be responsive after boot. What I take from these observations, it's that Windows is - like most Microsoft software - quite bloated :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
