Windows XP Embedded with RAMDrive is even faster. I have a 64MB fully functional Image that boots within 6 seconds or so, though a few tweaks are needed in order to no to initialize USB, Sound, Ethernet, Bluetooth etc.. during boot up, instead, the system show the desktop first, and do those work afterward. The down side is you cannot use USB keyboards & mice during boot up, no logon sfx, and it takes a while to initialize the NIC(about 5 - 7 seconds with DHCP off), and the boot up time, sadly, is platform sensitive, it's been tested & found only possible with nVidia Chipsets.
