You can kill a process IF it is behaving. If it is acting up then Task
Manager often is sluggish. The trick is "kill" the process once, then
wait. How long depends. In time, usually less than 60 seconds Task
Manager should be able to shut down the offending service or force it
to pop a shut down window of it's own which often will work.

We cannot let people go around spreading these lies about Vista and
Microsoft. They just aren't true! Vista ISN'T OK!!!!

It is a complete waste of coding time. Worse, it is a waste of
everybody's installation time.

You cannot kill the blasted processes! I am sitting looking at a
process that has been these for 3 hours. If you think I'm waiting this
time every time I want to kill a process you have got to be a comedian.

My shutdown can take forever. And I have to reboot to get over the
browser issue (Vista, locks up ANY browser....just for http port). There
is NO solution except to reboot (see
http://winvistaforums.com/windows-vista-multimedia/10005-browser-stops...rking-a)

So, if you are working, and your browser packs up, you have to reboot
and it still takes forever!

Serously, what Microsoft are doing here is nothing short of criminal.
It is money for old rope. As the guy above says....Win9x all over
again....and they don't get any ropier than that!
