Re: Why do CPUs run hotter...?

As it has to accomodate "users" by switching between various applications
it uses the "halt" command inherent in CPU's which IS not used by

Windows is multiuser too. Are you sure Windows does not use HALT in its
idle loop?

Windows is not exactly UNIX based, although it is certainly in the same
broad class.

Check your info. When in the '80s the "New Technology" (NT) was announced
for some strange reason it was castrated of the main security Unix-like
design where the admin and users have separate classes of permissions to
protect the system in broad sense of multiuser activity.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. There is an elaborate
object-oriented system of permissions and administrators are certainly
different from ordinary users.

Since then the tangent increased and the similarity is sci-fi.
What I know for fact is, on booting Linux kernel checks the response of
the CPU to "halt" command and writes this info in log. file.
Check this condition in NT as I am NOT using this kind.
Let me know.

I thought that since you were making assertions about it, you might have
some source of information.
