Windows 8 to feature 'fast startup mode'

That's a boot with a fast SSD and clean install. Real world times with HDDs are likely to be higher. Even then, good to see faster bootups.

Well my computer usually boots in half a minute and yes I am patient enough to wait for that much time. But yes its good to see faster boot up times.

If Windows 8 loads without a desktop, that is going to challenge some fundamental concept of anyone's perception towards a computer.
