Anybody here seen the new video from the Building Windows 8 website? There's a new video in which they showed just how fast Windows 8 will boot. I, myself, literally timed it, from the time she press the power button up until the desktop shows up, it was all that in only 8 SECONDS. I just couldn't believe it. You can watch it here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/08/delivering-fast-boot-times-in-windows-8.aspx

That's amazing but slower than what I want and need. Well, it's a huge improvement enough.

Looks great, but also looks to good to be true. I don't think most people will be able to boot so fast after they bought windows 8.

That is good. They must have consolidated device drives and services to improve booting time. Good!

And after the desktop shows? It will be buzzing away for ever, doing things that you will never know about - just like all the previous versions! Yet another bug infested, virus attracting, wormhole on it's way!

That's why I am using linux. :) Not that I don't like windows, but linux is more friendly for me. I am a developer too and it makes great system for me. I am using windows just for computer games sometime. :)
