I like it when they include something like a "3/16 modules loaded" or scroll names of current operations in plain text ( more common on linux machines) its a much more tactile sense that the machine is continuing to work, and seems a little more reassuring.,(reply>), @Cristaliana Ivor But what if you've just got a new PC that is significantly more powerful than your previous one?<br><br>My old PC took minutes to boot, new one less than 30 secs, makes everything feel like it happens instantly (except downloads, but that is not the PC's fault).,(reply>), @Sulev Türnpuu Kerbal Space Program does a similar thing with its startup loadscreen/bar.,(reply>), You must love Kerbal Space Program.,(reply>), Same.
