Why Does Boot Time Matter So Much?
I’ve always wondered why boot time matters so much in an operating system. Each release of Windows claims to boot faster, each release of <insert OS here> makes the same claim as well… And its not a secondary marketing point either — its put right up there with stability, reliablity, user-friendliness and so forth.
Why this matters so much I don’t know. Personally, I just turn the machine on, go make some coffee and come back to the pretty login screen.
