Interesting. I've noticed many programs start more slowly under Vista, 
but I've yet to see any start *faster*...

Then again, as soon as you boot Vista, it seems to spend an inordinate 
amount of time thrashing the HD to pieces. It's very hard to tell what 
it's *doing*, but there's a hell of a lot of background stuff running by 
default under Vista.
