Does anyone know a list of optimizations for Windows 7 x64 Ultimate specifically geared for .NET developers?
I primarily develop windows, web/mvc and service applications and use VS2010, SQL 2008 RS, etc. I'm thinking that there are some services/features enabled by default that can be safely disabled, but would like to get some input before I engage in some trial and terror.
11% is probably a bit low unless you have a rather high end system. I just checked my dual core laptop ~23.5hours uptime, and have 55 minutes of DWM and 34m under various svchost processes. That's about 2% for DWM and 1.2% for everything else. Even with my work laptop being an core core2 duo, you'd probably need an current generation Intel quadcore or AMD hexcore system to push it down to 1%. – Dan is Fiddling by Firelight – 2011-09-28T17:36:32.330
Nope. Tricore Athlon II. No fancy animations. Black background. No aero. Just alt-tab! – surfasb – 2011-09-29T04:24:55.813
