This is what Windows XP does already, isn't it? You boot, get automatic login, see the desktop, but essentially have to wait longer to do something useful. The only possible improvement I can see is to make more services launch on demand. That is, move apache and similars into xinetd. For any real enhancement, you'd have to rip stuff out. Like avoiding gdm when using automatic login. Like avoiding to run startup scripts just to find out the service isn't even requested.
