No it doesn't. What the hell. Boot time does in no way equal objective power of the system. That logic is wrong.

Well, I'm going to install Leopard on my PC soon (just for testing purposes. I can't judge the OS without ever having tried it out). I hope it will install, but I wouldn't be surprised if it would fail. I'll be intalling it on a clean HDD, just to make sure nothing happens to my Vista.

Lets see how quick it will start up then (no SSD's, I'm afraid).

WoW wow wow wow woooww. That is really fast compared with my computer, i could read a book while my windows computer starts. That's why i am thinking of buying an apple computer. My friend took time of his computers from start to connecting to internet. It took almost 7 minutes. Luckily now he has a new computer.

I don't care if my system boots up in 40 seconds.down matter.but i do care what my pc can do.yah fine mac can boot in 10 12 secs but what the hell would i do with that boot time?macs are disaster because they can't do anything compared to windows or liux. i would prefer ubuntu or fedora than mac.at least you can do some work with that.

I am mainly a Windows and Linux guru however I do have this to say....

Everyone has their likes/dislikes when it comes to operating systems but their is nothing to gain from rubbishing other operating systems.

The MAC is quite a good operating system and does do some things very well.

Go crawl back in your windows -Don't care about anything else hole!
