How to Boot Windows Faster
http://live.pirillo.com/ - Modern operating system - especially Windows Vista - can take a rather long time to start up and shut down. What could you do to speed up these processes?
SpeedyVista is a utility that will allow you to end services in Windows Vista, which will let you shave off a couple of seconds off your setup time.
Beyond what services you could shut down, you could also try disabling some programs from running on startup (using the msconfig utility).
For now, until new technologies make their way into operating systems, the startup and shutdown times are going to remain longer than they should be.
Do you have any recommendations for speeding up your startup and shutdown time?

Don’ t you think the idea is neat, having a coffee mug that can tell you everything you want in the early morning? Such as the weather, time, traffic, stocks etc, without needing you to sit in front of your computer screen while having your breakfast. That is the concept of a Yuno coffee mug PC. As today’ s computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it shouldn’ t be too far from now to produce an intelligent coffee mug that comes equipped with touch- screen technology that would tell what have been mentioned.

My vista 64 start up is pretty quick.
1. stop a lot of superfluous processes from automatically starting with msconfig
2. enable at least four cores to be used during boot-up (if you have less than four cores, you’re dead to me.)
1. Click start
2. Type msconfig
3. Press Enter
4. Click on the Boot tab
5. Click on the Advanced Options button
6. Tick the Number of processors box
7. Select the number of processors you’d like to make use of
