But only thanks to Microsoft, which has ensured that billions of man-hours are wasted annually for computers to boot up.

I hear MS is hiring millions of people to code the new operating system to work with the memristor. They have been challenged to write the OS large enough that even with the memristors, it takes even longer to boot than any previous OS. Their goal is an amazing 20 minutes! And I bet they can do it.
