Would be great for us “lazy” folks who like it to go smooth w/o having to read up and ‘experiment”...

An SSD drive will improve boot performance too.

I’m not sure how much I want Google and Facebook involved in how my computer boots up. Then again, I’m sure M$ isn’t much better.

I thought Apple had something like a linux/unix type BIOS way back in the late 90’s...

Speaking of Linux boot, they are selling a gadget now that is a $35 USB drive with Linux on it called ExtraPC, or something like that. According to them you plug it into your old, slow Windows PC, boot off of the USB drive and the old, slow PC boots up in Linux that is set up to let you see all of your old Windows programs. In the time it takes to reboot you have a fast, bugfree, crashfree computer again. Have you heard of this and does it work?
