Nobody ever liked looking at a boot screen, especially when in a hurry for quick access to a bit of needed information. Quick-boot technology has been around for ages, it seems, going seemingly nowhere, as if taunting. However, a number of new products displayed recently at CES by companies such as Sony, Lenovo, Phoenix, and Qualcomm, gives one the idea that the quick-boot technology will soon be implemented into netbooks, and all for the better (quicker, at least).

What kind of society have we become? We can't wait a minute for a PC to start up? Sad.
I sort-of agree... but at the same time, try telling me to relax when I'm late at the airport trying to checking and have forgotten my online booking reference ;-) There are circumstances where I'd be only too happy *not* to have time to make a coffee whilst waiting for boot.

You could live without such feature all your life and the humanity could live without such feature since the beginnings of the times, so, maybe it is not as urgent as we all think!
