Yet doesn't happen on my Atom + 2GB RAM netbook, which is fully useable 20 seconds after pushing the power button. In the ~20 Win7 boxes I use, not one has sluggishness after the desktop appears. Half of those even have junkware like Symantec Endpoint Protection, too.
And yet it happens on my 6 core 16 GB Win7 machine. Likely in my case it has to do with the many boot-time utils for all those tray icons.

Nah, it'll be okay, they'll just make it back in VOLUME!
