WfW barely qualified as a desktop. It was more of an application
manager running on top of MS-DOS.
My current desktop machine: 3.4GHz Intel i7-3770 with 12GB of RAM and
Windows 10, from a shutdown state took:
1:15 to reach the blue four-windows logo
2:00 to reach the Windows boot chime
2:25 to get to the login screen (and since my default user doesn't have a
password...)
2:55 to get to user desktop -- it was still loading various services for a
few more minutes after that
