A common topic of discussion in the Windows world - in fact, in any operating system - is boot performance. Many systems take a long time to reach a usable desktop from the moment the power switch is pressed, and this can be quite annoying if it takes too long. In a post on the Engineering 7 blog, Michael Fortin, lead engineer of Microsoft's Fundamentals/Core Operating System Group, explains what Microsoft is doing to make Windows 7 boot faster.

Windows is safer. The latest analysis of Vista shows that almost all the vulnerabilities that exist (for vista) are not due to Windows but due to third party components such as Flash and Java. (.net will become a larger problem if not fixed when it has a greater penetration on the web)

Of course, but we need to make preferences. I will prefer safer and easier Windows over fast boot time any day. MS should shift their devs to stuff that matters more.
But as this clearly means something else for evey user, that is a moot point.
