That's a great time, yvesj.

thank essenbe

Some great times coming in lately, SSD's are getting pretty popular now and for good reason.

Thanks guy(s).

While SSD's make for some good times note that in my previous post a lot of time is saved by using the BIOS EFI drivers rather than the legacy option ROMs. FWIW taskmanager shows about 900MB+ of RAM in use, 50+ services and ~36 processes. Best reported time so far is 12 seconds.

While results for 7 are not bad, for some reason running "Restart" with W8, which shows the desktop quicker than 7 (thanks to ultra fast boot) it takes quite some time afterward for the restart box to be displayed and consequently reports longer restart times. W8 also delays other programs that are placed in the startup folder. Any known reason for this? IOW is W8 not really ready when reaching the DT, in which case are the start up times really not that much different between 7 and 8?

Windows 8 is redefining the terms, you get to a 'usable' desktop faster but, it is still loading services and processes.
It's up to the individual to decide, for me the Win8 desktop is usable and have never had an issue opening anything when the desktop first opens, so it is faster.

Good times everyone. A Guy
