"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."

Wow, I didn't see the boot sequence in the promo .... it was probably so fast and then being sped up it just didn't have time to appear in the promo.
The marketing people really didn't take bill hicks' advice, they should. They also decided to provide us with that wealth of info that vista displays when vista boots.
Hehe, bored faces watching blank screens booting and people resetting alienwares, what a testament to an OS.
dmesg everytime please. much more interesting, informative and respectful of the user.

Then Microsoft decided to scrap all the work they put into that and gave us "Allow, Deny?"
