My dad read some article in BusinessWeek about how running a second operating system (Linux, for example) can speed bootup times. Before I knew it he had me loading Ubuntu on this laptop he found somewhere and setting it up so that it recognized the ghetto network adapter he got off craigslist. Happy Birthday Mom!

Hahaha, incidentally while I was doing all that business I drank my first Coke in years. I'm like, "this is gonna give me super computer guy powers, right?!" Turns out that's Mountain Dew.

Well, it doesn't say anywhere that it speeds up boot times.

You will just have another OS which boots faster than Windows.

Windows took over the desktop and loaded at its usual leisurely pace. In other words, HyperSpace doesn't eliminate the wait, it just delays it.

...Just as every OS dual-booting. Windows will still be slow as usual
