I must admit I felt a little ripped off too. I was expecting that I would enter my log in details and that the desktop would start up at that point. From there, all the other services that needed starting would start in the background while the desktop was starting/running. If this is what we can expect in the future then this is a great step forward. But if this is just so that I can type my log in details a little earlier, then I'm not convinced. To be truthful, it actually felt like it took longer to start but this might be due to the fact I was assuming that the desktop would log in after I typed in my log in details. Rodd
