I think we all would be happy with something more realistic around 20 seconds. Yes, it's for netbooks and embedded systems, so they can do a lot of optimizations, light BIOS etc. But with EEE Box styled devices it can reach desktop soon too.

I think we all would be happy with something more realistic around 20 seconds. Well, it still takes kernel to load a few seconds and udev a few seconds and X a few seconds... On standard machines I don't believe (much) less than 30s is possible if we are talking about booting to a fully loaded usable standard purpose desktop using kernel that is supposed to work on wide range of hardware...
