i just want to say that any ***** who tries to access the start menu while explorer is still loading deserves a BSOD every time he tries it.

you deserve to have fire balls shoot out of your power supply. (its possible, i have seen it happen to a friend's pc, lol)"
I take it you're not big on multitasking then?
Prefer to let each thing take it's own due time, ya'll get there eventually anyway eh?
Nevermind, I don't want to turn this into some flamebait argument over nothing...
Let's just say I like multitasking, and the problem I described is actually fully fixed by getting a SSD disk, because then everything is loaded once you see the desktop and taskbar (However my 150GB Raptor disk sure ain't no SSD)

@Per, your "Windows 7 x64 system" is that a desktop? Half of my problems above are gone when I'm using my desktop that uses a quad-core CPU, loads of RAM, SSD, etc. etc... but when running on a laptop wake from standby becomes way more relevant. As I said, on a Macbook Pro it can take anything from 5 seconds to up to 30 seconds to wake Windows 7 up, whereas OS X will do it in 2-3 seconds every time.
Yea, it was my desktop system, Quadcore with 8GB RAM (no SSD tho)
Just tried it on my Dell M1710 laptop, it has the Seagate Momentus XT 500GB Hybrid SSD in it and runs Win7 x64 with 4GB RAM (only 3.xxGB accessible due to chipset limitation tho...)
Resume from standby was 2.46 seconds, averaged over 3 times
All times it was below 3 seconds
This was to logon screen, but system was instantly responsive
