Do you know that the Microsoft Outlook calendar starts at a strange year of 1601? A Microsoft video explains why. You will be interested to learn that Windows uses January 1, 1601 as a baseline for file dates and active directory logon dates too. Even the ANSI date format (YYYY-MM-DD), which is used by most computers and operating system, is counted from January 1, 1601. (Thanks Westcoast Walker)
Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.
