LMAO, that's a fair comment. Maybe it is due to debugging, I'm sure time will tell, serial debugging is enabled on the video.
It's a shame more people don't shout at Microsoft about boot times.
Microsoft have consistently improved boot times with XP, Vista & 7.
With so much software available that wants to run at startup, they get quite a bad reputation. Windows isn't AmigaOS quick, but it's pretty close coming out of hibernate to turning my a1200 on from scratch. I don't reboot windows that often, so the time is largely irrelevant.
Windows 8 looks pretty good, although I guess it hasn't had much software installed on it yet.
