So over at lifehacker the lead editor, Gina Trapani, has posted some very interesting results concerning the boot times of the three major Windows OS’s, XP, Vista, and two different Windows 7 Ultimate beta builds (Build 6801 and Build 7000), all of which were triple-booted on seperate partitions of the same SATA harddrive. It’s an interesting quick read, but you might be wondering “what’s 3-4 seconds of boot time? Whoop-dee-doo.” Well, as Gina explains, “they are clear and consistent speed boosts, and hopefully they’re a sign that things will get even faster since Windows 7 is still in beta.”

Sounds good to me! Personally I haven’t been able to test it too much as I have a crappy wireless dongle connection to the net, and I have found myself stuck downloading Guild Wars on it, but defiantly a big improvement!
