The killer feature Windows is missing

The iPhone has changed everything, even how I expect my laptop to work.  When I pull my iPhone out of my pocket, it is INSTANTLY ready to work.  There is no spinning hourglass while I "please stand by to resume my iPhone session".

When I open my laptop, I expect it to do the same thing.  I expect it to be instantly ready to go.  It frustrates me that I have to wait about 45 seconds while windows "resumes".  With today's low power memory, there should be little or no time to get me back to what I was working on.

Apple has nailed this in their laptops as well.  When you open a Macbook, it is ready to go.  I've avoided the switch to Apple for so long, but if Windows doesn't figure out a way to get instant on, I may have to switch.

That's the Apple Trojan horse strategy.  They get you hooked on their smaller, less expensive devices, and then you eventually buy the more expensive pieces (laptops & desktops).
