DellDock actually works...too much, in fact.
Any of you Win7 users notice how much CPU Delldock uses? I watched it for about 20 minutes, and it ranged from 2 to 3 percent of the CPU for the whole time. I see from other posts that it didn't run well on Vista, but how about you Win7 users - yours work. I really like the concept, and that it keeps my desktop clean, but 2% to 3% usage is curious. I had only a few Gadgets running, and my Norton IS, etc.. Nothing else was using much more than .01% of this one week old machine. What in the heck could it be doing; it just sits there, waiting for a cursor to come to the top edge of the screen. Hmmmm, maybe I should try it without it being hidden at the top?!
Can anyone read this screen print? This app will only accept 550 pixels wide, but it's high quality, so you could save-as and enlarge it.

Nope. Undocking the dock didn't do diddly-squat. Still around 2.6%.

cwaynesmith,
Do you really use Dell Dock? If not, I'd just remove it, I did. Suspicions are it's sending information somewhere. This might account for the usage.
