"Windows 7 Annoyances"
I've got one for you, change your desktop background from an image to a "solid colour", reboot and measure the time it takes from entering your login details till the desktop appears. Change back to an image for your desktop background and repeat.
Where's O'Reilly?
I'll wait for "Windows 7 Annoyances" -- that's the one we'll really need.
Mine's the one with the picture of the Star Nosed Mole on the back.
