Question. Will Win 8 be fast if users have antivirus and anti-malware loaded to scan the drive / memory on start-up? Third party antivirus software may slow it down I guess. I’m thinking MS Security Essentials might be streamlined right into the system though. MSE is great by the way. I think adlabs gave me that tip about a year ago. It’s a no brainer and saves a lot of technical talk when friends and family ask “I think I need antivirus software ... what do you use?”. Quick answer ... “Microsoft Security Essentials ... it's good and it’s free!”. BAM! They thank you and grab you a beer for your trouble!  http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/security_essentials/default.aspx

I was using MSE when it was called MS AntiSpyware Beta, lmao...
AVG Adds to the startup time.
My brothers new alienware, after Windows 7 re-install + all windows Updates. from Power Button to Desktop is only 12 Seconds.
Once I loaded MSOffice 2007, MSE and Some other Studio software he wanted, it jumped to 25 seconds.

Who cares about boot times? Use PC power saving mode and you hardly ever have to do a reboot anyway.

Quite right. Vista and above was not designed to be shut down after each session but to be put into Sleep mode (with battery save if a laptop) and it boots up in seconds. The other advantage is you can stuff open on your desktop and it's still there when you wake it up again.
Windows 8 will also take longer from cold once all your crap is installed on it!

I just let my computer go into power saving mode like Yobbles. I only reboot when I install a new driver.

I just built a file server out of old parts (single core AMD 1800 CPU, 768MB SD-Ram) and installed WinXP. It gets to the desktop in about 25 seconds, which surprised me.

Update on Windows 8 Bootup: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-8-shutdown-startup-ssd-boot,13396.htmlWe're all running systems these days with at least a couple of cores in our CPUs, right? And we want to take advantage of those cores too. Windows 8 will do that in a way that Windows 7 doesn’t – in the turning on and off of your computer.
Windows 8 will leverage multiple cores in parallel to work together when the system is preparing itself for hibernation and resume. In previous versions of Windows, this would only matter for those who were hibernating their systems; but for Windows 8, nearly all shutdown and boot sequences will use some form of hibernation.
In previous versions of Windows, every boot and shutdown sequence would be a completely fresh start for both the kernel and user sessions. The developers of Windows 8 deem the complete shutdown and reboot of the kernel session every time as unnecessary, so Windows 8 will instead hibernate the kernel session and only shutdown the user sessions.

Interesting. So a hybrid trick, in a way.
