    I dont like the fact that Windows 7 takes much longer to boot than Windows XP. This has been the case for any computer that I have installed it on (clean install).

    That's odd, Win7 easily opens twice as fast as XP on my system.

    this is strange. especially when you say it happens to any computer you have tried.

    i'm pretty sure 99% of the members in here would agree that 7 boots a lot quicker than xp.

    have you looked at this tutorial? while you won't want to do all the things it suggests, maybe a few tweaks will help to speed up your boot time.

    I am talking about a clean install of XP vs a clean install of Windows 7. I am not douting that you would be able to "tweak" Windows 7 to boot faster, however I am talking about a standard installation of each OS. Are you all saying that XP is slower to boot under these circumstances?

    Example Dell 8400
    Latest BIOS (A09)
    Clean install, followed by all available Windows updates
    2.5 GB Ram
    P4 3GHZ CPU
    250 GB HDD 32MB cache 7200 RPM


    XP Cold Boot – to see desktop = 25 seconds
    Windows 7 Cold Boot – to see desktop = 29 seconds

    when you say 'to see desktop', do you mean 'when you can actually use your desktop and start running programs'?

    I mean when you first see / get site of the desktop. Both OS would then take another few seconds to open an app or program.
