Windows Vista to boot in 2-3 seconds

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/confident.mspx

Fast On and Off: A Windows Vista computer starts and shuts down as quickly and reliably as a television, typically within 2 to 3 seconds. Windows Vista processes login scripts and startup programs and services in the background so you can start working right away. You'll also shut down and restart your computer less often by using the New Sleep state, a simple one-click on and off experience which not only reduces power consumption, but also delivers and protects user data.

Think they'll live up to it?

Well it appears not, the latest in the post Windows Vista Broken, in Chillout chat Zone shows they may have been over ambitious, things are not going to plan.

Oh my? The "Sleep" function?! That is new!

Windows wont live up to that... I mean come on, it Windows.

I'm sorry have to laugh on that M$ in 7 seconds LMAO :rofl: :rofl:

I doubt this will happen. Maybe it'll boot in 3 seconds if the "Sleep" function consists of the equivalent to Stand By on a monitor

If it does happen, good for them! They'll probably put like "When you install programs, this will cause boot time to go slower." "Boot time is estimated with nothing on the harddisk except Windows." Something like that, in the fine print.

I guess we'll see!

Will not work if it is a crt
