Heh, I'm not trolling :)

Just because it starts in under a second on your particular box, doesn't
make my post non fact-based. There are a LOT of older (Pentium 1/2)
machines out there, esp. in businesses, and the sluggish performance of
Nautilus on such machines is not a good advertisement for Linux on the
desktop.

Naut has improved considerably with 2.0, and sports some cute features,
but a file manager which feels as sluggish as XP's interface doesn't
provide a good incentive to switch...
