My shiny new Dell Mini 12 on startup from hibernation:

“Resuming Windows”  – how long do you think it should take?  30 seconds?  A few minutes?

Forever.  That’s all it does. Stuck.  Forced shut-off, start again.

Now it’s “Checking for updates to Adobe Updater”.  No kidding.  6-7 minutes later Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 is updated.  But now McAfee is updating itself.  

No wonder I hate desktop software.
