Do You Like Our Weekly Movers & Shakers Posts? [Poll]

Last week, we asked you How long does your computer take to boot up? And we received lots of responses. The top response was 30 seconds to 1 minute (with 36% of the votes) then second place was held by 1 and a half minutes or more (14.1%). Then third place was held by 15 seconds to 30 seconds (12.1%) There were votes for less than 5 seconds, 5 to 10 seconds and more!

So if your machine takes 10 minutes to boot you are stuck in the 1990′s. Try using Soluto to improve your boot times like I did.


You can see the full results below:

This week, we are trying to gauge your interest in our Movers & Shakers weekly post. In it, we feature one category from CNet’s download website and filter it by free applications. Then we list the top 10 most downloaded applications and give you a brief synopsis of what they do. If you have never seen it before you can check all of them out below:

And here’s the poll.

 

Do you think this is a good feature? Do you love it or hate it? Do you read it and check out the applications? We would love for you to vote and hit us up in the comments to let us know your specific feelings on the subject!

    I don’t really like it–my computer already fits all my needs, and most of the apps featured on CNet are cliché enough that I already know about them. The most interesting and cool ones are already featured in other articles on MUO.

    So personally, I don’t mind it, but it’d be nice if I could have a special RSS feed without it.

    They need to be marked with OS compatibility because some look interesting, but it would help me go through them faster if it was easier to identify the Mac compatible ones.

    I like your alert emails. They point out utilities/features I would not have thought to look for. But, I get too many of them! I got 11 in one month – including your Giveaway which I’m not particularly interested in. Four (one a week) would have been more than enough.
