Long Boot Times For Vista
Here is a quote form the Wall Street Journals Walt Mossberg
"I also was shocked at how long this machine took to restart and to do a cold start after being completely shut down. Restarting took over three minutes, and a cold start took more than two minutes. That suggests the computer is loading a bunch of stuff I neither know about nor want. By contrast, a brand new Apple MacBook laptop, under the same test conditions, restarted in 34 seconds and did a cold start in 29 seconds."

My take on Vista is not to install it at this time in a dental office. There are too many issues that must be resolved including the simple tasks of deleting a file can take 30 seconds. Stick with Windows XP for now.
