Its all the addons
It takes me nearly 5 minutes to get a usable desktop in Vista, but it's all the addon junk.

The Vista search engines hammer the machine at bootup.

Adobe hammers the machine at startup. Have to check for updates!

My Virus scanner hammers the machine at startup. Have to download new definitions!

Java hammers the machine at startup. Have to check for updates!

If all of that stuff is disabled, the OS boots up very quickly.

This is why people always say mac's and Linux boots up faster - sure, they don't have as much addons available happy
