"...I predict that within one-hundred years, computers will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will be able to afford one...."

What takes time is the BIOS listing up your hardware and checking it's working (something called POST).

All of this is PRIOR to Windows loading so IMHO this would benefit any OS you throw at this babies, and that's why they don't show the Aero Interface there, From the momento you see the windows logo and on, BIOS booting has already ended.

So really, people at Phoenix, how much were you paid for the Windows 7 plug?]]>Sep 27th 2009 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/croissants are lovely.

Oh, you were trying to say Mac, a computer made by Apple.

I do wish Apple would upgrade their EFI implementation to a UEFI version. Vista and Windows 7 have EFI boot support, but only for UEFI (EFI 2.0) and above. Would be nice to boot into Windows a bit faster.]]>Sep 24th 2009 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/

Of course, I don't care how fast my desktop boots, since I just leave it on all the time. It's mobile stuff that really needs to improve.


I remember when they said Vista would boot as fast as a TV turning on. I do hope the hype around Windows 7's boot time turns out to have more truth than that. (I haven't tested it yet.)]]>Sep 24th 2009 6:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 25th 2009 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/24/video-phoenix-instant-boot-bios-starts-loading-windows-in-under/Sep 24th 2009 6:43PM
