Actually this is a long standining issue.
This is a long standing issue that doesnt just effect windows vista.
For a long time now, UK companies have had the "Time Vs. Security" issue highlighted and put in check y various unions.
The Communication Workers Union sorted this issue out quite some time ago.
When will other companies realise that you can not update systems or security or anything that effects user logon and expect the user (employee) to foot the bill in personal time.
Logging on, whether it be secure or not, is a process that the company should take responsibilty for. If the company does not it opens up the realm of "Time no longer Vs. Security"
A company could have a logon system that could take 15 minutes to get into and expect the employee to arrive 15 minutes early for their shift - or not pay them for the 15 minutes at the beginning of their shift. This is not acceptable under any circumstance.
This is kind of old news, highlighted by another Microsoft release of a system that takes even longer to start than their previous versions. Wasn't Vista suposed to be faster and better?
