Windows Vista Service Details

Description:

This service prioritizes user applications over background services. Great if you are running a desktop. Not great if you are running a server, and it puts higher priority on your 'desktop experience' while starving the background server apps you want to give priority to. It preloads applications that you most often use into memory as well, so it might end up using quite a bit of memory. I will get around to doing some in depth tests on this service later.
