SAN FRANCISCO — It is the black hole of the digital age — the three minutes it can take for your computer to boot up, when there is nothing to do but wait, and wait, and wait some more before you can log on and begin multitasking at hyper-speed.

One of di first step dem need fi tek is fi stop making Windows O.S. so blastid bloated. MS need fi write mire efficient codes. Each version of windows just seems to get worse. Compared to others, each version seems to get slower and slower. Also, in my opinnion, MS does not do a good job on going into and coming out of suspend mode, at lease not since Win-98 OS.

Never use <span style="font-weight: bold">Suspend</span> better to turn of the system.
MS is bloated but there are ways to make it a little lighter on its feet. Funny I don't have a problem with Boot time, in fact a few years ago the worry was that PC Boot times were too fast for legacy peripherals such as Hard Drives. That was supposed to be the big draw of <span style="font-weight: bold">SATA</span> Drives.

I think if they move the operating system to <span style="font-weight: bold">Solid State</span>, turn on Network immediately that might satisfy the impatient masses.
