Anyway, ok, I know this aint the place topoint this out but compared to older version of the Windows OS, WinXP's boot times are dramatically faster than before! Using a little tool of M$'s site (bootvis) you can optimise your systems boot time. Afresh install of WiXP with SP1 takes about 34seconds to boot from cold, however after using bootvis a cold boot falls way down to 18 seconds on my system! (running a XP1700, 512mb ram, 2x40Gig RAID drives, 20Gig drive, DVD rom, CDRW)
Ok, sorry to go waaaaayy off topic but I tghought it was worth pointing out - damn good thread though I have got to say! its about time we heard some non-bitching news on the new systems!
