| 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 |

| 826497 | 2009-11-02 09:53:00 | Never turn off my PC, All forms of hibernation are disabled. I want to be using that PC the very second I plant my backside in the seat. | Metla (12) | ||
| 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) | ||
| 826499 | 2009-11-02 10:14:00 | Interesting stuff... downloading Ubuntu 9.10 now :D I've had a recent play with Ubuntu on a Virtual PC - I was quite impressed. It's come a long way... |

| 826500 | 2009-11-02 10:21:00 | 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? 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 ;) 7 hasn't had many security updates yet, and has still got service packs to come. Oh you'd be surprised, it's had a few :D |
