Another good reason not to upgrade my Vista I reckon.:p

826493 2009-11-02 06:04:00 Probably depends what the hardware config is, and whats in startup. On here, it was 53s (windows 7), from starting windows and 8 programs in startup. Then loading a site. All programs disabled 48s Speedy Gonzales (78)
826494 2009-11-02 08:26:00 Given that half the world seems to think it's ok not to turn off their computer, and that Hibernation is a good and fast option for those that do turn off, it's not really an issue to get too caught up in. Paul.Cov (425)

826496 2009-11-02 09:49:00 I seldom sit and wait for my computer when i turn it on, i turn it on first thing when i get home and come back whenever.

If someone cant wait a minute for their computer to start up their priorities are all wrong

826498 2009-11-02 10:08:00 Well from my own experience with my Acer laptop windows 7 boots the fastest out of it, xp and vista. It is 64 bit while the other two were 32 so don't know if that makes a difference? CYaBro (73)

I've had a recent play with Ubuntu on a Virtual PC - I was quite impressed. It's come a long way...

I find that with XP, that after first installing it, it is very quick at loading. However after, after installing all the updates and service packs, the loading time slows a lot. I suspect the same thing will happen to 7 overtime. 7 hasn't had many security updates yet, and has still got service packs to come.

With the exception of the monitor turning on?
I'm likewise, though I got in to the habit of locking my PC, but better that, than having the family mess with it by changing Facebook statuses etc ;)

Oh you'd be surprised, it's had a few :D
