Now add Mcafee, Norton, or some other virus scanner. The startup time goes even higher. Tell me, Why do people STILL use Windows? Wow. a whopping 20+ seconds to come to desktop.

Do you think microsoft would rush a new OS and fuck it up like they did Vista? I don't think so. It’s not going to happen, they’re going to take much longer to revise it.

I'm looking forward to a whole new OS. That’s what I meant above by “old crap”… although I probably could have been a little more clear. I’m looking forward to a whole new OS.

I think 7 will be the Windows OS that finally drops all the old crap. Apple's had the balls to do it with every revision, with no real flak from incompatibility problems. With the upsurge in web-based and/or free and open source apps that are much lighter and more easily portable to various OSes, I don't think there'll be an app hole when 7 comes out, which is probably what big businesses would be afraid of.
