My PC boots to the Windows logon in 21 seconds, post is about 10 seconds more (more on a cold boot).  

But, you're comparing apples to oranges here.  Of course it's going to take longer to load more things into memory.  Are you really comparing the functionality of the 15 year old Amiga OS to a modern OS like Windows XP?  :crazy:

I believe that was sarcasm.  

BTW, my desktop never gets rebooted (unless it needs a patch, update, or software installed.).  I simply put it in suspend when I leave and resume when I come back.

Windows XP: over 1GB


Thank you for proving my point.  Most if not all of that one gigabyte is useless lard.  Thats the whole point.  We went to the moon on 64K, now we need a gig just to type a letter?  


Yes, all useless lard.  

Thousands of device drivers
Secure/multi-user file system (also now EFS)
Current TCP/IP stack (with IPSec)
Common multimedia API (DirectX)
Power management
Task scheduler
etc.
