Its never taken me ten minutes to boot any of my computers. What I will
recommend is not to have a lot of stuff in your start menu Some people go
crazy with that and thats a big problem whether you were running 95,98, XP,
or Vista. It takes mine maybe 2 to 3 minutes max which is good time to get
some coffee, use the can, or make a quick phone call. Then with Insight 10.0
and wireless router and the built in wireless card, we are ready to go.
