How many milli-seconds can you use it before the error message pops up and it locks up?

Long enough to realize that microsoft still owns 85% of the OS market.

I still am running the same install of Windows Vista that I started with in 2008.

From power button press to usable desktop = 21 seconds
Last reboot - almost 3 months ago.
Last Virus infection - never
Currently running in memory - 5 IE sessions, 1 Excel 2010, 1 Access 2010, 1 session of Visio, 1 session of Mini Ninjas and 1 COD4.

Home built Intel Q6600 quad core, 4 gig of ram, GeForce 8800 GTI video card. It was a hefty PC when I built it but not crazy specs. Thing is I watch where I browse and don’t continually screw with it and install crapware.

However, I have had to fix pc’s with more tool bars in IE than browser space so I know they get crapped up. As with anything YMMV and to each his own.
