Quickstart, FastStart, whatever
Applications that need to 'preload' at OS start are big bloated applications - and clearly point to bad decisions being made much earlier. I wasn't happy with FastStart in earlier applications - as I would have been happier fixing the actual problems - or having folks actually fix their perf issues. But this time it's just a sign of poor managment of expectations. Unfortunately engineering management has given the product folks prior art to use as justification. Oh well - strike two.

It is a shame that this is likely done to address a compaint from some executive. Was this added without having gone through any critical review? Have the beta testers complained about long startup times for the application? Is the application itself sluggish? How many bugs or problems does a preload feature introduce?
Looks like a workaround that may cause a negative perception of the product in the long term.
