Er, sorry old man, but WindozeXPPro certainly does use the extra processors with HT. I'm not talking about Task Manager (which of course shows four processors) but the multi-threaded secure gateway application I'm developing confirms the multiple (and virtual) processors.
In fact, Windoze2kPro has a different threading kernel to WIndozeXPPro, which is why you get four procs in XPPro and only two in 2kPro. Anyway, this isn't the thread or forum for this topic. I don't use Doze for anything other than compatibility testing so it's a (fairly) moot point. I'm only interested in improving Linux (since I develop on and for it) and if this investigation helps, then marvellous.
Cheers
