<i>On the other hand you have the desktop&#x2F;web thinking of rebooting often (or shutting down when not used, starting up before using) and being on the bleeding edge.</i><p>I actually find this line of thinking baffling... I don&#x27;t remember the last time I actively chose to shutdown&#x2F;reboot voluntarily.  Spending time optimizing the boot sequence strikes me as a total waste of effort.<p>Modern computers support sleep and hibernate... why would anyone choose to reboot except to apply OS updates on certain operating systems that insist on a reboot?<p>I would <i>much</i> rather focus on uptime stability and flawless sleep&#x2F;hibernate so we can encourage people to never reboot unless they&#x27;re forced to.<p>That&#x27;d better serve phones, tablets, and other devices that share this infrastructure and need this capability, and it would cater to a public that is getting used to always-on, always-available technology.
