Nice articles. The terminology is useful for terms I'm not yet familiar with.
I'll simplify this article:

1. Boot Process and Manager Loads
2. OS Loader Loads
3. Critical Processes Load (Kernel, Session Manager, etc.)
4. Logon Process and UI loads
(Logon)
5. UserInit.exe and explorer.exe (Windows Explorer and User Initialization Loads)
(Show Desktop)
6. Program and non-critical processes load
7. Startup Complete

Better?
