cold boots into winxp64 in under 30 seconds, most of that is post
Yeah, mine takes just a little over 30 seconds, and it's a dated Athlon XP with PATA.
I dunno... if Windows is "streamlined" a bit, my experience is that it shouldn't take that long to boot. Naturally, my old A1200 booted much faster (and my Pegasos was literally a few seconds), but AmigaOS isn't loading up a fraction of what Windows is at bootup. And ya know what... if your amiga is set to auto-run things during bootup that make it more usable (like TCP, commodities and various other things I can't remember ATM) it will take much longer than 10 seconds.
