My personal Window 10 box boots within 10 seconds. My corporate laptop takes an eternity despite being more powerful.

I suspect configuration (software and hardware) has a massive impact which is being glossed over.

Well yes, corporate machines are a different issue.

I have a corporate mac that's sluggish due to mcafee chewing 100% CPU for 5 minute intervals, anything with "enterprise" management software on it is going to suck regardless of OS.

Just wait until you see windows 10 on a 2GB machine with mcafee, and then corona forces ms teams on it. Boot takes 15 minutes to usable. Usable means msword produces a character on the screen in less than 10 seconds after you type it.

IT closed the users ticket without action: As long as it boots in 15 minutes or less, there is no performance problem.

Yeah I have a Mac Book with 32G iof RAM and 8/16 cores and always five or so of the top 7 processes for CPU are spy ware. Unless I do a massive multi account terraform apply - that can outcompete them. Even compiling doesn’t, go is so fast.
