Ah:
Boot time needs to be zero -- you turn it on and it's on,Lazowska said.
That is indeed a good goal for an o.s. I mean, if it's doable. We are impatient creatures. Why wait?
And yet, I use a Mac running Panther (Tiger next week!), and the turn-on of using a Mac isn't its turn-on time. While the computer warms up and before the login shows up (login security is important), I arrange my chair, my blankets and scarves (cold office), my Diet Coke . . .
Why a Mac? Why OS X? It's the beauty, ease of use, stability (bye-bye OS 9!), and common-sensedness of it. I'm not at all interested, really, in the new vistas after Vista. I've got OS X.
