Love it. Yeah I'm about 13 seconds on my new Dell Attitude with Windows 8.
But from what I recall reading some that MS cheated somehow on the shutdown/startup process to make it more like a sleep/wake process. Or something like that.

That sounds like you're still on Windows 7. Wait until you see the boot times on Windows 8 with an SSD. My HP Eiltebook boots in 11 seconds. I think I have the same drive.

I have an HP Elite 8100 mini tower, it was getting a bit slow, so let's put in a SSD drive. I got the Intel 520 Series 240 Gb SATA3 for CD$279 at Canada Computers. Now I was dreading the new install of the OS and all applications . . . but wait, Intel has a migration tool <http://www.intel.com/go/ssdinstallation> http://www.intel.com/go/ssdinstallation That sounds interesting so less than an hour later I had a cloned OS drive on the new SSD drive, re-booted had to re-arrange some drive letters, shut down and swapped the SATA cables to boot from the SSD drive, That was it, absolutely no re-install of anything, very, very slick. I now boot up (from cold) including opening IE at start-up in 1 min 10 sec, previously ~ 3 min. Everything is much snappier. A good $280 spent and hardly any work . . . . -- Stefan Jafs ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
