You may already be impressed with the boot up times achieved with Windows 7, especially when you compare it to Windows Vista. But I doubt many of you have seen it boot in Under 10 Seconds?
Just thought i’d share this video I found from Phoenix technologies. They are demonstrating a new technology that allows super fast booting of an OS. In their video they boot Windows 7 in less than 10 seconds and its loaded and ready to go. It’s achieved using a new UEFI BIOS that Phoenix have been showing off at the IDF conference.
While there have been some Linux mini-Operating Systems that launch quickly for basic features like web and email. This is the first fully loaded OS to boot this quickly.
We have reported before on a boot time of 11 seconds that was achieved using a super powerful machine that Microsoft and Intel were showing off. But this technology from Phoenix is more to do with the BIOS and not the specs of the machine as much. Which means these quicker boot times should be achievable by people who aren’t running “super computers”.
This new technology is likely to start appearing in high-end notebooks at first and probably will be quite costly initially. But I wouldn’t have a problem paying a bit extra to boot up that quickly and I say I wouldn’t be alone.
