It would be interesting to know if Microsoft supports such use of the Startup processes stuff... It can't be good for dumb people's (the same dumb people who buy a new version of Windows with every new computer they buy every 6 months) opinions on Windows when it takes forever to boot as a result of their 20 installations of Adobe Reader all preloading themselves whenever they start up!

They can't prevent programs from putting themselves there, because there are a few things like virus scanners and keyboard drivers that need that.
Would be nice if they limited it a bit. Does anyone know if Vista is going to do this differently?
