Its called time tracking software. Look into it. By the way, at my job it takes 13 minutes, not 30, but I have to wait while it does an anti-virus scan. This is a thin client mind you!

When workers come to work, they have few rights, but one of them should be the right to have sufficient resources to perform their work. If the computers boot slowly, that is the problem of their work infrastructure. If it's because of Vista, then there are several workarounds: switch back to XP, install more memory, keep computers running. The CIO should be fixing the process, not sticking to a faulty process. Punishing workers because of deficiencies in the work environment is wrong, but when times get tough (like now), companies take advantage of workers' fear of not even having a crappy job.
