Long time ago I worked at a hospital and once had to go to a certain department to fix something on computer nurses were using and was horrified how slow the computer and everything was. So I asked around and ladies happily explained their daily morning routine:
- turn on computer
- do a morning checkup of all patients (around 20 minutes)
- when they got back, computer usually finished starting Windows, if not, they waited another 10+ minutes for it to get ready
- then they started Word (another 10 minutes)
- and opened their main document with notes..or to be exact wanted to open the document. That took another 10 minutes
TL;DR - users can get used to pretty much anything because they don't know it could be so much better
My company, like many, bloats Windows with security software. We have the type of PC where McAfee uses 80% of resources for an hour every Monday morning. PCs with spinning hard drives take a good 15-20 minutes to fully boot, and some engineers still have those. Those who complain just get told to wait a few years for their planned laptop replacement, to finally get an SSD.
