Gone are the 3 minute loading times, and anxiously waiting for that "Its now safe to turn off your computer". Now it only takes 2 minutes and 50 seconds, and no more waiting for shut down, it now does it for you whether you like it or not (a.k.a. crashing).
Start up : I don't know how fast it starts, but it can't be any worse. Can it? If anybody can tell me, please email me at xfang@netspace.net.au.
Shut down : I know that it crashes pretty damn fast. If anybody can tell me more, please email me at xfang@netspace.net.au.
