Aaaannnndddd... the fast boot time is good because.... ???

It's not like Win7 is slow or anything.

CrunchBang Linux has a fast boot time...
One of the reasons that I use it.

You’re right! I’m still traumatized by waiting for my old Windows Vista machine to boot up I had to wait about 4 minutes for that thing to get everything in order.

Luckily I upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit ... it boots up clean in about a minute.

I was still pretty surprised at Windows 8 booting up in the sub 10 second range though. One of my favorite words is "optimization"

Get an SSD as the primary drive - My W7 64b takes about twenty seconds.

Nice! Your computer should boot up in about 5 seconds when you get W8

I could be mistaken, but I think 5 second boot is a pipe dream. A POST from the motherboard takes that long. Add a RAID setup to it and the POST takes longer again. I think the laptop in the clip uses an SSD, because from what I've understood, the hybrid technology they talked about requires an SSD, on-motherboard micro-SSD or possibly maybe a fast USB stick. (USB 3.0?)

Still, any improvement will be welcomed with open arms.

How about 10.000 moveable objects or more in DirectX D3D? An aircraft has at least 12 moving/detachable parts in the simplest setup.

No worries with Vista or Win7 on either of my computers. My old 486 with Millennium on the other hand.....

That laptop is a prototype for a new HP line, w/ a SSD and 16 GGB of Ram, and the "delay Start" for about 80% of the Services.

I Have Win8 Running on a Separate HDD that I use for Beta O/S's, and Its fast, it boots in 8 Seconds on my system, which is generations older than that laptop.

ps, Official Beta Testers are still under NDA, so any videos are people with Fake Win7 Transform Builds, or an Illegal Copy via Torrent.

Better yet it shuts down in about 2 seconds, without asking you 10 questions first about forcing ____ to shut down, log off other users? and other crap. Just does it.
