I'm running Windows XP SP3 on my work notebook and I've tweaked the services and disabled all the startup processes. With Chrome(5 tabs), Outlook, Digsby, and Task Manger I've got 23 processes/304 threads running.

Minus the header line, so 68.

Edit: This poll excludes me.

How did it exclude you?
