Sure, on a system that is ONLY running a clean Windows variant, boot time will always be fairly quick. The real problem isn't with the BIOS but with Windows itself. In a real world system with a network, services, firewall, AV, user applications, etc., the boot time that includes loading and initializing everything will always be much longer than on a clean system. On my WinXP system, it can take me 10-12 minutes to boot up and get all my applications up and running (about 80 processes), ready for me to begin work. Which is why I never turn my system off. I'd like to see them put my system on that machine with their rocket BIOS and see how much quicker they can boot. The demo is meaningless!

But advances in boot times are great as well.

after the trial ends, the program will auto shut down in 10minutes
this is still useful to leave on system for quick internet/email/ check before
