WIlliam, I think they decided to make it so that you could leave the Dashboard up in a window and not have to "tickle" it to keep it up, but to continue to timeout everywhere else. I agree that that's a bit of a security exposure though. That gives me an idea for a feature suggestion...
Ian, I often leave the Dashboard up for days on my PC at the office, but haven't seen that memory leak. Can you think of what I might do to reproduce your discovery?

I found this by accident on the essentials box at work. I was running Vista 32 on a laptop connected to it. This was left running overnight, basically doing nothing. The essentials box has 1GB so memory creep comes to your attention very quickly. It normally sits around 19%.
I found I could do a similar thing with the v8b and my windows 7 ultimate 64 PC. It is harder to tell memory creep with 4gb, but over about 5 hours memory went from approx 22% to 28%. I was surfing, audio streaming etc.
2 very differently physical and as well as software configured ASGs. The only common thing is they are both running Intel NICs on the internal interface.
