Gutsy broke hibernate/suspend both on my laptop and my desktop, and I 
don't like to leave them on all day for the same reasons I wouldn't like 
driving a SUV.

With an average of 15 boots a days, 1' saved off a 1'50 boot would mean 
15 mn of free time everyday (you can do a lot in 15 mn). And when 
somebody is on the phone and I need to start the computer to give them 
an answer, I'm not so happy having to explain the 1'50 boot + 15sec to 
desktop + 5 sec Nautilus boot + 10 sec OOfice startup are due to me 
using Ubuntu and not a decent distro or Windows XP.
