Windows 7 boots in approx. 5 seconds to the desktop (if no password is set), and stuff like Word or Visio starts instantaneously. Web applications on the very same computer are a whole different story.
Let's just acknowledge that SaaS is not and never was about any kind of benefits for the user or customer, but just about either centralising resources and services back to the vendor's control and/or increasing money extraction.
- sqeaky 10y agoI have never seen word open instantly. When I do it there is always a second or two for teh obnoxious splash screen, then often 10 to 15 seconds waiting for it to do whatever. Notepad++, yeah, that opens nearly instantly. I mostly use Ubuntu and there Libreoffice still has a stupid splash screen. After that though the amount of time is too small for me to count.
