If there is a problem with my computer and I need a screwdriver to fix it, then I’ll fix it. However when it comes to software then I am still a dummy.
Therefore my suggestion to the developers: a the power App will speed up the process of crunching it is good for the Einstein project as the calculations are done sooner, why not program it into the Einstein application? Then one has to do nothing as all went automatically.
If this is not possible or to difficult is it then possible to make a script or something like that that one can download, double click it with the mouse and it installs automatically. That should be easy for me and for a lot of other people as well I think who are a bit frightened to start messing around with files and directories. Good idea or not?
In the past, and probably with this one as well, the power apps were released for testing purposes prior to being implemented as a standard app. When Bernd feels it's ready for prime time he will probably make it part of the Windows standard package.

Adding to that, once the appliation is available, the general userbase will not have to do anything at all to receive the updated application. The normal process is for newer applications to download automatically. This behavior can be overridden by the use of the app_info.xml file.
I haven't had any issues on either of my two machines, and I don't think I've seen a lot of talk about problems, but since this will impact such a large number of systems, my hope is that there will be a short-duration beta test app that has the task switcher based on cpu detection, then deploy soon after that. Once that is done, the vast majority of users will be updated on their next few scheduler connections.
Didn’t have time to read through the entire post so I apologize if I’m covering covered ground. With that said, this new app has definitely lowered my crunch times. With the limited exposure I’ve so far had, I’d estimate my times have come down from around 6.5 hrs to around 5.75 hrs. Pretty impressive new app. I’d say. The queer thing is that my temps have also increased. The highest of the four cores was running at about 61. The new app. has it running up to 65. Has anyone else noticed a temperature increase from using the new app.? It almost has to be the new app. that is causing the temperature increase in my system. I just can’t think of anything else to attribute it to but the increase is fairly small so it could be environmental in nature. Please tell me I’m not alone in noticing this phenomenon.

1. My Q6600's and Pentium-D show good improvement, but my AMD X2 4800+ boxes are showing no apparent improvement. All on Vista. Ideas?
I'm surprised you're not getting better results to be honest. My AMD 64 3800+ went from 17 hours to less than 11. It's probably not much help but, what % do you have "Use at most X% cpu time"? If it's less that 100%, change it to 100.

Thank you for reply. One 4800+ machine is throttled back to 30% due to unresolved heat issues, but the other runs 100%. Both are turning task times of 12:45-14:00 before and after installation of 6.0.5. Both showed good improvement with the SSE2 version of S5R3, so I was surprised to see nil from this one!

I sure am too, though I'm a little confused now or I'm just missing something. You mentioned you have both your 4800+ set up with 6.0.5 and I do see you running it on one, but looking at the last few WU's done on this system, it appears you're still running 6.0.4 on it.
[Edit] Thanks to Brian I realize that I missed the 2nd pc had been switched to 6.0.5 after the WU's had been started. [/Edit]

I too am at a loss on one of the X2 systems. The other one, you switched in the middle of processing a task, so you haven't reported any tasks that were processed completely with 6.05, so it's too early to tell...
Could you identify which system is the system with the thermal problem?
