What a wonderful idea: make an app start faster by making your machine
take longer to boot. What if other major Windows apps did the same
thing? Wouldn?t it be cool to have all these apps lurking in the
background, already running, chewing up memory and CPU cycles?
Look under the Startup Apps in the task manager and you'll find a
whole load of things that run at startup. Mine includes the Dymo label
printer app, Copernic desktop search and the app that monitors the
battery backup.
Exactly, nothing new. But perhaps for Lawrence's - apparently - stone
age OS, which doesn't know how to have such 'Startup Boost' (and
similar) programs without "chewing up memory and CPU cycles", when
they're "lurking in the background, already running" [1]. That problem
was already solved at least some four decades ago.
[1] Of course his OS *can* do that. After all, it's Unix-like, isn't it?
