Life with a PC is always a bit like a love affair. The first few days or months are absolutely fantastic, but then as time passes by ‘it doesn’t feel the same anymore’. Soluto thinks they have a solution. Not necessarily to take care of the many problems in your love life, but for putting the spring back in your PC’s step.
Soluto is a statistical software that aims at putting the social web to some use in optimizing the start-up time of your PC. As of now, you can call Soluto a PC start-up optimizer with a social bent. But won’t the geeks ask “why not just hit Windows + R, type in msconfig and get the job done? Well, that’s the problem people. The geeks know it, the huge horde of masses using a PC don’t know what to do when their PC slows down. 
Hence Soluto breaks up the programs that sit in your start-up into ‘No Brainer – Remove’, ‘Potentially Removable’ and ‘Required’. Here you can control the behaviour of the application like pausing them (you’ll have to start them manually) or delaying them (apps start when Soluto thinks the PC can afford to).
After you click on a block representing some application/service you are presented with some data on what other users did with it and what you should be doing with it.
It also shows a cool graph of your PC’s startup times after you’ve installed Soluto. All this while protecting your privacy.
There’s also a wiki mode which allows you to add information about programs for the betterment of the community. And all this in the amazing interface which makes the software just so much more awesome than what it is. Soluto also have an ongoing ‘PC Genome Project’. They aim to collect data that frustrates users and put it to good use for everybody on the planet. And they constantly maintain that they are just a statistical software that suggests actions based on pre-recorded data. They also plan to extend to other factors of your PC which slow it down. Watch the cool video below.
