It is an issue. My Chromebook boots in 6 seconds. My wife's 3-year-old Windows 7 system boots in 60 seconds. My XT machine boots in 80 seconds (it used to be about 180 seconds until I got a "tuneup" of the registry and startup processes and removed Avast anti-virus).

Not everyone has the latest Windows operating system, and nobody I know of has a PC with an SSD.
