Every Fedora Core release outshines the previous one, Fedora Core 4 maintains this pattern with an excellent collection of the latest open source packages and improved performance. Two areas that still need some work are out-of-the-box sound mixing and package management

Please disable services you do not need before voicing your opinion on boot time. I disable services on Windows XP and my Fedora machine (duel boot) And although I haven't timed FC4 with a watch they both are finishing just as im returning from getting my coffee every morning.
Maybe Fedora is 10 seconds slower, or 10 seconds faster but how can cause such a bug ruckus is beyond me. I used to work in a PC shop and you know what one of the biggest complaints next to spyware was? Boot up time for windows. For ppl who don't know anything they have 50 things in startup and the boot can take well over _several_ minutes. After removing this programs you find hardly any speed improvement because of such a terribly cluttered registry which you also have to clean. Fedora doesn't have that problem no matter how many apps you install.
Maybe Mac is better than both, so is BE and BSD, etc, etc. But I always compare to the market leader because if 90% of the world can deal with it then everyone should be quiet about it being unbarable.
