While I like a fast boot, you've go to get these things a little into perspective, a minute to the desktop isn't that bad.

- Osiris 14y agoBut 20 seconds is even easier. When I switched to an SSD in my laptop I saw boot times from drop almost one minute to just about 15 seconds. I no longer dread having to reboot after system updates.
- DanBC 14y agoIt's not bad, but spread over X million workers on desktops 5 days a week means a lot of wasted time, and maybe energy.
- hmottestad 14y agoIf 5 million people save 1 minute every day for 200 days a year. Then you have saved 1 minute every day per person, not 5 000 000 * 1 * 200 minutes in total per year. That kind of math just doesn't work.
- idleloops 14y agoYeah but you don't have to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs while your machine boots. You can just do something else. I'm sure we waste far more time during the day doing other things. We don't necessarily obsess over those types of time inefficiencies. If you wanted to save time you could brush your teeth in the shower etc.
