IMO, the important thing is not to get the system up quickly, it's to
get X up and running quickly.
It's to be able to login quickly, not that the last service started is
available.
Take WinXP, they boot very quickly to allow the user to lgin quickly,
not that SQL Server is available quickly. And THAT makes the difference.
