Windows Microsft has made hard statements about perfomance improvements in Longhorn. They claim that applications will load 15% faster than in XP, while boot time is decreased by 50%. They also claimed that Longhorn will be able to wake up from sleep in 2 seconds. Users should also expect half as many reboots during patching. Time to dust of those trustworthy stopwatches.

Microsoft is full of it. These are minor speed increases at best and they will likely be accomplished by tricks like showing the XP desktop but not actually being able to do anything with it.
