Whazza, lol thats sure something!

It takes about a minute to boot in either OS X Snow Leopard or Windows 7 on my brand-new-and-still-shiny iMac 27". No matter what config or what OS I had in my entire life (Windows 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6), it has always taken about a minute, so God only knows what those people do to boot in 10-15 seconds :p The BIOS itself is about 15 seconds, and the EFI may be like 10 seconds...

My hypothesis is that they confuse "hibernation mode" and "shut down", which would make a lot of sense, because coming back from hibernation takes almost no time.

Who cares?

Takes me about 25 seconds or so. :p

Kevin and most the others here :D

will have to measure my times all i know is the p4 with xp boots faster with i7 win 7 >_> (not really to do with the os just the time taken to actually boot the machine and start loading windows~)

XP Pro SP3 - 12 secs. No AV program or firewall on it. This PC takes longer because of this solid colour background bug, (windows 7 - which has been installed, it didnt do a lot, and this 96 DPI bug). You have to request it, but I cant be stuffed trying to figure out what option to choose - 37 secs. 2.8 dual core
