I don't care about how long it takes to boot up, but I do care how long it takes from login to the desktop environment being usable.
Dealing with servers, I'm used to long boot up times since the low-level lifecycle management takes forever. But, once it's booted, I expect it to be ready to go. I have no patience for "Just a moment...." or "Getting things ready" after I enter my credentials. All that shit should have been taken care of during the boot up.
Thankfully, I mostly use Linux at home/work, so that's less of an issue, but it does make it all the worse when I have to remote into a Windows server.
The worst is when windows doesn't even show that it's doing anything but is still hogging 100% cpu and most of the ram for some random background service for several minutes after booting.
Lol, yup. The ol' .NET Optimizer background task.
At a prior job, one of the junior admins updated the master image for our VDI linked-clone desktops. They snapped and deployed that without waiting for that background task to complete. The next day, when people started logging in and the desktop pools started spinning up, we got 70+ complaints that every virtual desktop was un-usably slow. Those were coming in as we were watching our performance monitors say almost every VMware host was at max CPU.
