A common topic of discussion in the Windows world - in fact, in any operating system - is boot performance. Many systems take a long time to reach a usable desktop from the moment the power switch is pressed, and this can be quite annoying if it takes too long. In a post on the Engineering 7 blog, Michael Fortin, lead engineer of Microsoft's Fundamentals/Core Operating System Group, explains what Microsoft is doing to make Windows 7 boot faster.

I don`t get it - why waste precious resources on something of so little importance as boot time?
How many times a day do you spend rebooting your systems. I can see an importance for devs, but if your boot takes more than say 90 secs, there is somehing else wrong with your PC anyway. People should learn to stretch during booting
Windows PCs don`t need reboot as often as they used to do. Use sleep/hibernation instead.
