Microsoft demos fast boot times in Windows 8

why, whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is such a big deal how long it takes to boot?? Come on, turn it on and get a glass of water, it would already boot at the time you sit back again!
 
This isn't really a big deal. They didn't optimize the boot in any way. The only thing they did is they made hibernation to be used by default (and since I'm the only user on my PC I don't want it to hibernate just the kernel session).
 
@ sammyjames & linnyrick:
Typos are a no no on this site. Not to mention "Grammar". If you don't believe me, ask Captaincranky and his sidekicks.

p.s.: I think they work for edge.

Five or six full seconds to boot? Ridiculously too long. This is a problem that should have been solved 6 versions of windows ago. And why do they keep releasing slower and slower of windows anyway? I use windows 2k and it loads way WAY faster than the win7 I removed from my new laptop. W2k is the only OS that eventually reached a normal product. The rest are broken junk.
