A Watched OS Never Boots
“A Watched Pot Never Boils,” my mother always said. Or ws that Mother Goose? Regardless, I decided to make use of my time waiting for Vista to finish its launch sequence and two minute count down.
Here’s an idea, multiple boot profiles. For instance, I’d like a dev lite boot profile. That would be just the OS and Visual Studio with a few browsers and IIS. Don’t need chat, don’t need email, don’t need network discovery or ready boost or fast search indexing or update manager or user experience reporting monitor or Office quick start or adobe quick start or adobe, for that matter, or itunes or SQL Server… I’ll bet that’d shave some time off a reboot!
Hm, sounds like my XP VMWare image is about to grow up
