Windows Vista boots up quickly—but seeing the desktop is hardly a sign that the OS is ready for use. When your familiar wallpaper and icons appear, you better not start clicking, because in the background the OS is still finishing up its startup process. Sometimes it seems like you have time to go watch an opera before Vista finally becomes responsive.
Getting to the desktop quickly, but not being able to use it for another minute or so, is Vista's big tease. The drive thrashes, icons don't seem to respond to clicks, and if you manage to get a program to load it goes into the annoying Not Responding mode if you dare try to use it.
