I can't stand it in XP when in Media Player's Library, when you move your mouse pointer over the tracks list in the center, your CPU goes 100%
Since I use a Tablet, this really ticks me off heaps as it keeps making the unintelligent Intel SpeedStep to go 220MHz for "heat-dissipation" reasons...
Now... to prove Vista is Mobile friendly, WMP11 should use as less CPU as possible. Otherwise...

Is WMP11 Still A Resource Hog?
Actually on my 256MB machine, it actually runs better at tims than WinAmp, but I guess it depends on what you've got running in Media Player. I've got Glass on it, the standard visualisations, and when I minimise it, it then goes into the taskbar.
It seems fine over here :o)
