Windows seems to be getting slower in its old age. Especially when you first switch it on. We just clocked a brand new laptop at a shade under 2 minutes from pressing the "on" switch to it finally deciding that it was OK to be used.
Windows will never be ultra fast booting up because of everything it needs to do. Just look at the stuff Windows Vista has to go through every time it boots up:
Some Windows tips need specialist software if you're to come out of the process alive. Others can be done with the tools Windows gives you but are made easier with specialist tools such as a registry cleaner or better yet a Windows error checker that checks lots more than just the registry for about the same price as a simple registry cleaner.

I bought a new laptop with Windows Vista about 4 months ago and I'm just know noticing an overall slow-down. I've been apprehensive about using any registry cleaners with Vista, but I tried the error sweeper and it seems to be safe. I just hope I don't have to do re-installs like I did with XP.
