Well, considering that Vista is a pig when it comes to loading, it isn't a matter of Microsoft having to listen hard to hear the complaints of users. I am a bit skeptical about this for several technical reasons when it comes to Windows. I don't think this can be implemented as smoothlessly as one night think, and the types of applications that could be run would be extremely limited.

My Microsoft Windows Vista has a long start up time after rebooting. I always wondered if I could instantly turn on Windows and start working on my Computer. It seems the Microsoft guys read my mind.

Engadget reports that Microsoft is surveying a select group of users about what they think about the Instant On Windows feature. The survey is asking the readers…

“Instant On takes your computer from being completely powered down or “turned off” to being usable for a few specific activities is a very short amount of time. Instant On experience is different from ‘Full Windows’ because it limits what activities you can do and what applications you have access to.”



I would really welcome this feature. It would be great if Windows would let me perform some frequently used tasks and activities and continue to load in the background for as long as it likes. It would be interesting ifWindows 7 will have this feature. Meanwhile do you know how to shut down Windows XP in one click.
