Turning the damn thing off completely _stops_ power consumption. ” the New Sleep state, a simple one-click on and off experience which not only reduces power consumption,”

Usually I login and do something for about 30 seconds and then I start using the OS. It shouldn't be like this, and I agree with Dave, I don't mind waiting 2 minutes for an OS to startup if it's usable and solid straight afterwards.

I do. It happened to me once, when I bought my new computer (state-of-the-art in 2005) and booted XP for the first time. But as soon as I started installing something else, it all faded away. I suspect that it will be something similar with Vista. Sure, it will boot fast, but then you will need to keep it from any other software to keep that performance like that...

One of the main boot differences right now between Windows and OSX/Linux is OSX and Linux will bring up all the services and required services, and drop you in to a desktop you can start working in immediately. Windows quickly gives you a desktop that is at first completely unusable, then you can slowly crawl the mouse around and maybe even get the start menu to pop up, and eventually things will be loaded up enough that you can do more advanced work like open a web browser, or start MSN Messenger. If they want to really improve the end user experience they should be working with motherboard designers to phase out the ancient BIOSes we currently have and replace it with something lean that puts as much of the boot burden on the OS as possible, such as what LinuxBIOS does.
