I don’t have the following experience since switching to a MacBook, and it’s not something that would suck the most for me (can’t think of any others right now). But I dislike how the bootup sequences of most PCs looks like you’re startup up some PoS system for a fast food restaurant. It doesn’t look sexy at all and doesn’t fit in most of the environments a PC would be in.
- samelawrence 13y agoAs someone who works on PoS software, I get to watch this ugly bootup process twice. Once for Windows, and once for our software.
- khitchdee 13y agoThe very fact that users see a boot up sequence goes against the idea that the PC should be as transparent as possible to its user. I guess since they know its going to take them so long before its ready to go, they show you something instead of a blank screen while its getting ready. Tablets and smartphones have shortened this preparation time enough that you're good to go almost instantly.
