Vista eating resources?

When setting up a Vista notebook, I noticed a process eating up CPU usage. It turned out to be Vista itself or the new Vista interface.

What you can do to use the Classic Windows theme. Here's how vistafaqs.com explains it (and other things you can do).

Reverting to the windows "Classic" theme can also cutback on CPU and GPU load to help improve perfomance by making the graphics less consuming. To do this right click on the desktop and go to "Personalize" you can then click on "Theme" and change it to "Windows Classic".
