So I just got a New HP DC7700PC Intel vPro workstation. Before doing anything I booted up XP Pro and went through removing not needed applications. Then I upgraded to Vista RTM. Now at boot up it takes exactly 3.25 minutes to 4.00 everytime. The progress bar on the black screen freezes for about 2 seconds at the 1 minute and 1.5, 2.2 minute intervals. The system is, like I said, 2 days old, nothing else installed that should tie it down, just a slow boot.
