Bill,

As far as discovering things I found that windows takes about 3 minutes to
boot completely using quad xeon processor 4 gig ram and mac takes 20 seconds
and every things ready to use. I noticed more software installed longer
takes to boot "windows" but mac has no effect at all. 

Thanks

Andre

I suspect that you would discover in short order why windows is so  
popular with HW vendors; there's a hell of a lot it does "invisibly"  
to support a huge range of third-party stuff that macos would  
probably just choke on.
