In .NET 1.1, you could get CPU utilization time for the System Idle Process, which has a process id of 0, using the System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessById(0).TotalProcessorTime property.
However, if you try this in .NET 2.0, then for some unknown reason you'll get an 'access denied' exception :(
It's still possible to get this information via the PerformanceCounter class and I'd check out this Code Project article for a discussion of the matter:
