How do *you* tell when your OS is booted/ready?
Innuendo:
I usually just wait for the hard drives to stop churning and settle down. That's how I know it's fully booted.
I wasn't aware there was any other way to tell. :)

When my foot is stuck in the monitor?
JavaJones:
I just start doing stuff. As soon as the windows and apps I opened actually open, then it's ready. ;)

Darwin:
Alright, smart-aleck remarks aside, I have two ways of reckoning whether or not my OS is booted:
1. When all apps in my startup folder are running
2. When I can interact with my computer
Starting with Vista, but magnified significantly with 7, #2 is achieved surprisingly quickly following the appearance of the desktop. Windows 7 REALLY shines in that number 1 is achieved quite quickly after that.
