Macs were already slow, but compared to this they are now snails, LOL.

except you’re wrong. I’ve also seen people boot XP in 10 seconds on youtube. Look it up.

For those ignorant fools talking about the loading bar on Windows 7, you can change it between that one and the new one in msconfig. In my experience the one shown is automatically turned on when installed on very low power machines like netbooks, etc. I'm guessing that Microsoft designed it to check for something like processor speed or ram or something where using the new animation may take longer to load.

i can boot into windows 7 in under a minute easily and ready to use no problems! much faster than vista as vista takes ages for it to be ready to use but windows 7 takes just a few seconds. I am running asus striker extreme with intel quad core running at 3.2ghz per core, 8 gb of ram. geforce 8800ultra graphics in sli no compatibility issues either!

Anyway…you want fast boots, make your boot drive an SSDD. I cold boot in under a minute and I'm on a 3 yr old laptop. And I'm a software developer so I have every service you can think of running on this thing. I'm using an OCZ Summit (I think Summit II, but I'm not sure)

[...] a Windows 7 bootideje is egészen meggy?z? tud lenni a Vistához képest, de még a windows7news.com cikkírója is kétli, hogy túl sok ember látott volna már operációs rendszert 10 másodperc [...]

I am quite sure it's not running off the essential drivers for the laptop. One obvious hint for this is that the resolution is not native for the screen, so it means they did not install the graphics driver for it, which can slow down boot up by many seconds.

But I agree, there's really no point to start up so quickly when there's sleep mode (and it's deep sleep).

I’m running a 1.4gigahertz singlecore with 128
megs of L2 cache and a gig and a half of ram
and I get 2 minute boot times. Is this normal?

Why shouldn’t they turn off all non-core services before hand? It’s the intelligent thing to do which explains why you’re busy doing your LOL.

I’m doubtful about this. I tryied their ‘instant boot’ before and it really was bad.. it worked but was more like a trick. This is what happens in instant book mode (their last tech before this..)

1. Once your in Windows you can press shut down as normal.
2. In instant boot mode, the shutdown button only restarts the computer and then puts it into sleep mode as soon as it boots into Windows Vista again. (so shutdown takes the time of a normal shutdown and bootup of windows)
3. Once Windows has booted, it automatically enters sleep mode (as soon as it boots up)
4. Now, the computer appears to be off (in sleep/hibernation depending if your in quick boot or instant on).
5. Turning on the computer is just the computer resuming from sleep or hibernation, they say it’s like a new boot as it went to sleep right after a boot up before.

… It works but anyone can restart their computer and put it to sleep… it really isn’t as great as it sounds.

Hopefully this new BIOS thing really is a boot up and not just ‘boot from sleep’.

The windows 7 boot process (from BIOS finishing and starting 7) is very quick in itself, half the boot process is just the BIOS not Windows, by the sounds of it Phoenix have managed to reduce the BIOS time or somehow incorporate a portion of the OS loading process into the BIOS

Actually, as far as I am concerned in this case they are definitely faking it. I would suggest that is not even Windows 7 – the startup has the older progress bar instead of the Windows 7 pulsating logo and the taskbar and start menu are vintage XP. Actually, the system tray/notification area doesn’t match Windows 7 and the show desktop space at the far right of the taskbar appears to be missing. Even the icon placement looks more like what you get with XP/Vista Quicklaunch. It wouldn’t be the first time I have seen someone fake something for a demo but this is downright sloppy. The irony is one could just as easily demo Windows 7. People have been sued for fraud over less….

I did actually notice the taskbar was the older XP style one, no fancy aero effects

There will be other options as well. Diskeeper has something called HyperBoot.

Mine goes from Sleep mode to a working desktop just as quick aswell. But as mentioned above, its not completely off. But i agree, i will turn my laptop on in the morning and just put it into sleep mode and then I can quickly use it whenever i want. The advantage of the above article is that it would save some battery since its “Completely Off” but not much….

Sleep mode isn't “completely off”, Sean; the RAM is still active. That said, I do often just leave my Win7 machine in sleep overnight. That way I can quickly use it when I want while saving power. And with Win7, recovering from sleep mode is much faster and more reliable than with XP (don't know about Vista).
