One result already in said they had a Windows Vista desktop with 256mb of RAM and it booted in 1-1.5 minutes. I'm calling big time B.S. on that time. Please read the instructions before filling in the survey. To properly time a boot-up start your stopwatch the second you hit the power button, then don't shut off the stopwatch until there are no more hour glasses and no hard drive activity (indicated by the blinking LED on your computer). Also, ONLY answer the questions in the poll that you are sure of, please. The first results are already making their way in, thanks, but please be diligent about your times.

A 3 gH Pentium 4 processor is going to be slower than a 2 gH Core 2 Duo. I know you can’t cover everything, but one thing stands out to me.

Call BS on mine if you like, AMD dual-core lappy @ 1.6Ghz, 2GB RAM, under 30 seconds running KDE3 on Sidux. Actually was 31 seconds but took me at least 1.5 seconds to hammer in my password so I'm claiming it. Heh heh, just been tweaking my laptop for boot speed, & then I find this!

Good point, though. I thought about it, but then I thought I needed to keep it pretty simple. Good point, though.
