Claus, again, my Toshiba R600 running Windows 7 and with an SSD, is ready to use, from a cold start, in 17 seconds. this is fully ready, no apps still loading, JAWS is ready and willing etc.
granted this is with an SSD and a good machine, but it's a point that should be made. the days when stability of the OS were an issue are really passed now. as long as you buy a good manufacturer and don't install all manner of rubbish software then you shouldn't suffer anymore.

Hi, On the other hand a stable Windows xP machine is much more common now than with Windows98 or even worse Windows95. Windows 7 seems to be even more stable than xp. Still the Macs really have a boot time I have never seem matched on a Windows system, and is instant ready after login, very much unlike my XP machine that uses about 2 extra minutes to load applications. This is only tolerable because hybernation works on that pc.
