I'd try it but my two machines running Windows 7 have become slow. One machine takes over 3 minutes to start and the other is well over a minute. Don't really know what's causing it.
You know my HTPC has always taken for ever to start. I just upgraded the mobo, CPU, HDD and video card and it still takes forever to boot. The common things is the case and that both mobo were gigabyte boards. I put a SDD in it and it still takes forever. Maybe I'll give this a try.
Nice! My main complaint about loading an app is Photoshop. Loading seems to go on forever, though CS5 x64 is worlds faster than CS4. CS3 was the absolute worst.
