Blinkin Nora that is smooth! I noticed since installing a new graphics card yesterday, it's added on a few more seconds, so about an extra 5 to me.

or my puter remembered what i wrote and decided to be an arse :p and go on strike.

1 min dead.

Full prefetch and normal startup including ati thing, norton internet security 04, 55 processes in all. Also have to wait 20 seconds for crappy logitec bluetooth keboard mouse stuff to kick in. Thats from power button to mouse moving, well it moves at 35 secs but the bluetooth thing freezes it for 10 secs then and resets it. Thats on a 10K raptor. That is a fast drive. Some people take on here have said it takes 3 mins to load up windows. When I last installed it took 10 minutes to get to functioning windows including having to do all those setting's pages. I never timed it's startup time back when it was fresh but I remember it was very quick. Sub 10sec without trying.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
