Anyone who uses Windows knows that the longer the operating system is kept without a freshre-install (or deep clean-up), the longer it takes to boot up. Hopefully this will change with news that Microsoft is currently working on a solution to make Windows 7 boot much faster. In fact, the main objective would be to see Windows 7 hit a cold boot time of 15 seconds or below, which will be more than welcome considering data from the Customer Experience Improvement Program depicting 35% of Windows Vista SP1 systems booting in less than half a minute, while 75% boots in under 50 seconds.These numbers are better than what I would expect. I wonder what their definition of “boot” is and when they start/stop measuring the time here.
Note that we’re talking of “clean system” boot time here. For exemple,on a fast computer, Vista can boot as fast as 30 seconds (to the login scren)after the install.But oncea bunch of other applications have been installed, the boot time will drag on to 1mnor muchmore.
