Just so long as they think outside the box and do something different. And to not just create something thats new and inovative that hasn't had some test time. I think if they would have held off on the release of vista, they could have saved a ton of trouble but I guess spending more money on testing is less cost effective as producing a crapy product that has such a bad rep you have to create a marketing campain to make it appear that its a misconseption. As you can tell I have no faith in Vista. Its the WIndows ME of 2008. Its time to give it a grave stone. Call me crazy but XP and 2000 work far better then I have ever seen vista run no matter what the hardware was. Maybe I am crazy.

Clean up the startup folder you still have about 20 programs loading themselves at each boot. No program should be allowed to load by default, unless it is almost alway needed like the mouse and keyboard. Otherwise I do think sub 15 second boot time will be possible in real world usage. I think the real benchmark should be after all those programs have been installed, how long would it take for you to turn on the computer and check a web based email, or open a random game program. enter (msconfig) without the brackets in run command on any version of windows to clean up start-up :) Each time my computer reboots it takes on Office luncher, Openoffice luncher, Adobe luncher, printer, scanner monitor, video camera, Nokia phone monitor, MSN messenger, anti virus program and another dozen of other programs I do not even know what they are.

Windows needs to boot-up without installling all the start-up items, which can quickly add-up as you use the system. Start-up items should be loaded in the background and not interfere with boot-up.
