I'd agree that this is a problem, but it's not impossible to fix. The
distro I used before Ubuntu, Arch Linux, booted in about half the time
Ubuntu takes.
Windows XP is very quick booting. For laptops it would be nice to have a
quicker boot, although the addition of suspend-to-disk in Hoary should
make it much less of an issue.
