Nobody ever liked looking at a boot screen, especially when in a hurry for quick access to a bit of needed information. Quick-boot technology has been around for ages, it seems, going seemingly nowhere, as if taunting. However, a number of new products displayed recently at CES by companies such as Sony, Lenovo, Phoenix, and Qualcomm, gives one the idea that the quick-boot technology will soon be implemented into netbooks, and all for the better (quicker, at least).

Yep - I basically agree that it's good not to be in such a rush. And you shouldn't regularly be in a rush if you plan stuff properly. I'm just pointing out that sometimes basically everyone finds themselves in a hurry and then it'd be nice not to have to wait for your computer. As long as it doesn't harm you in other ways, I think it would be handy to have.
For most of the time humanity has been alive we've neither had access to computers nor even electricity - yet I'm guessing that most people here are glad they have those, even if they're not strictly needed!
