Honestly all this is good, but microsoft may wish to take a page out
of apple's book and streamline the os. this sort of thing may hide the
symptom but the problem is related to excessive bloating.Î

If you want speed then invest in solid state harddrives.
For the pc users, there is a way where they are able to install there
os onto ram and boot from it, providing even better speeds than those
of solid state drives.

Gee is there any real value in such a feature? Seems to me if you
need
your machine possibly that quickly, perhaps just putting it to sleep
would be the best option. I'm not even sure how fast you could get
things to load on any OS when you have adaptive technology in the
mix.
YOu'd have to load sound drivers for example almost if not
immediately
upon boot.

This may be interesting, but I doubt it's in the works for
snowleopard. I guess what would make this feature either useful or
just more fluff would depend on just what features/activities would
be available in it's limited list of can-do's.

Subject: Microsoft Testing Instant On: Quick Windows Start Up
Source: Quick Online Tips
Author: QuickOnlineTips
My Microsoft Windows Vista has a long start up time after
rebooting. I always wondered if I could instantly turn on Windows
and start working on my Computer. It seems the Microsoft guys read
my mind.
Engadget reports that Microsoft is surveying a select group of
users about what they think about the Instant On Windows feature.
The survey is asking the readers…
"Instant On takes your computer from being completely powered down
or "turned off" to being usable for a few specific activities is a
very short amount of time. Instant On experience is different from
'Full Windows' because it limits what activities you can do and
what applications you have access to."
I would really welcome this feature. It would be great if Windows
would let me perform some frequently used tasks and activities and
continue to load in the background for as long as it likes. It
would be interesting ifWindows 7 will have this feature. Meanwhile
do you know how to shut down Windows XP in one click.
