I had a friend over this week - her windows vista laptop (high end job for its day)
took well over 20 minutes to boot to the vista login screen.
Got rid of some crap but a complete re-install was the only sensible solution.
FYI: She was going to replace a relatively new high end machine with a ~700UKP "lappie".
