Windows Boot Up
Well you know I think that the average user understand the boot up scenario.
the more crap you add to your PC the longer it will take to become usable.
All of those little dormant services being energized.
Hell a clean install of Windows 7 on a Dell 530s with 4 gig takes about 40 seconds.

Add Office 2007 and messenger then Adobe etc, you add about another minute or so.

A lot of it is the auto update on software being in the background.

You should of saved hard drive space and bandwidth on this article.
