    Startup is going to be slow the first few times, and as Vista learns how you operate a computer, it will get faster. If it doesn't, you probably installed too much bloatware.

    Setting up a freshly installed system takes a while to load. It will get faster as it will be more optimized the more you use it

    My boot up time at a fresh install was 45 seconds.. its now 1 minute after a month due to installing more programs
