Actually the problem was not just long boot time. It was also long launch 
time for all the key applications. Clearing prefetch fixed it all. And if 
you understand how Prefetch works that makes perfect sense.

You are just being silly. If something is broke and I fix it then it is 
fixed. If something is not broke, I have nothing to do and it is still 
not broke. Maybe you would claim that you fixed it, but I would not. What 
is the sound of one hand clapping?

I gave a precise and standard definition of a cache in a previous email. 
It is defined functionally. You continue to be wrong in insisting that 
the contents of the cache can somehow make a cache not a cache. Yes a 
sack of nickles can be considered a cache if it functions to save you a 
trip back home to get a nickel.

Considering your track record on other issues I will pass on this one. 
Vista is double plus good!
