Yeah, but my Linux systems always start way faster than my Windows systems - even though I hardly use the Windows ones and haven't installed much.

There's no reason not to this since it doesn't matter if you get a shell prompt before e.g. sendmail is started - even if you manage to write an email in the interim period, it will simply be queued until sendmail is started. But it's not a "deception" when Windows does it; everyone does it. Imagine a car that didn't let you drive until the aircon had reached the desired temperature...
