    Wow, that's pretty damn quick.

    But how quick will it be after a few months worth of registry bloating :p

    It's not finished yet, that's just the boot time before they put all the windows in it.

    Well according to the stories, they don't even load explorer at boot, loading a desktop is optional.

    I was implying that all they have there is prototype edition, they haven't put all the windowsness into the operating system yet. Plenty of time for them to fuck it up.

    "Please wait install update 1 of 200".........
    ..
    ...
    ...
    "Finished installing all Windows updates, restarting your machine"....


    The ironic thing i find with Windows user group is installing updates when you shut down your machine. Then it throws a brick in your face and say "Installing updates do NOT turn off your machine". I want to turn off my machine thats why I fucken shut it down.... Fuck me, out of all the stupid places to put a installing latest updates.
    This post contains tracers of humor and nuts.
