0_0 That's not good, man. Regarding start-up time, you don't have to shut it off. Mine is set to sleep when I close the lid, and the power drain is minimal, even w/ my smaller battery. Especially for ebooks, I can whip it out of my bag and have FBReader up in 4 keystrokes and maybe 20 seconds, which I do frequently on the train. I only shut it down completely maybe once every week or two.

Mine is set to sleep when the lid closes as well, but it hibernates after a while if it isn't open. I don't really like the idea of the machine being sleep while on the go, anyways... it is still on, and I keep it on its case, so it gets hot and I wonder if it might not get damaged from it. But it recovers faster from hibernating than from being shut down, so I don't really shut it down much anyways. I usually keep it hibernating.
As for the freezing, yeah, not good, but I don't mind. It sometimes happened to me in my other laptop, but it was much more rare, and I imagine something like that happens in all computers at some point or another; it just strikes me how regular an occurrence it seems to be with my Wind. Maybe I got a defective one?
