I don't understand why using a desktop is still so painfully slow.  On moderate to better hardware 10 years ago it took ~5-10 seconds for me to open photoshop... today it's still the same.  Windows took 10-30 seconds to load then and it's about the same now (to go from power button to actually in Windows with the desktop loaded).  With the hardware being multiple times faster, why doesn't software follow suit?  If you asked me 10 years ago, I would have been most looking forward to things loading in an instant, but we appear to be no better today.
