Spinfinity looks *much* nicer. As for Elad's original question -- that the boot will take 0.5s on hyper-super-"awesomest"-modern hardware means practically nothing. You cannot count on your average user to have that. I have a machine able to play "easier" 720p h.264 videos, still the boot takes tens of seconds at the very least in F17 (haven't measured it lately, it used to be around 1 minute, and the speed-up does not seem very significant). Furthermore, if a reboot's going to be occasionally long, we still need to show something that will not make the user think his OS is from the 90s... And yeah, some way of showing a progress is needed, as long as it's meaningful (we *need* a way for a user that the [re]boot is taking long because it's fscking, installing updates, re-labelling, whatever; and not because something went wrong -- whenever we can). Cheers, Martin
