"Anyone else remember when Microsoft used to talk about making Windows Vista (or Longhorn, as it was then known) a fast-booting operating system. Fast, as in cold boots that were 50 percent faster than those possible with Windows XP? Something obviously went awry. As Computerworld is reporting, a number of Vista users are none too happy about Vista boot-up times. Some are questioning whether Microsoft is advocating that users just put Vista into sleep mode, as opposed to shutting down systems on a daily basis, to mask the sluggish boot up."

Core Duo 1.7 laptop is by no means a 'fast' computer.
Boot times (not bios...that's not windows) is about 15 seconds to log on promt. Never had xp on here to compare - but that's not 'slow' Not super fast, but it ain't slow. although faster IS better I am in no way held, back, locked in, or otherwise hurt by waiting 15 seconds in the event that I actually fully shut down / restart.
