Everyone else remember when Microsoft employed to talk about creating Windows Vista (or Longhorn, as it was then known) a fast-booting operating program. Quickly, as in cold boots that had been 50 % quicker than those probable with Windows XP? Something certainly went awry. As Computerworld is reporting, several Vista users are none too content about Vista boot-up times. Some are questioning no matter whether Microsoft is advocating that consumers just place Vista into rest mode,
