its a bios feature and will be available later on new pc/laptops.

I wonder if HP will release it for the laptop I just got. That would be excellent to boot in to windows in less then 10 seconds.

The only problem is what happens if you need to boot from a CD or change BIOS settings? You'd have to have the reflexes to press the buttons in less than half a second... LOL

My Intel BIOS only takes about 2-3 seconds to get into the bootloader, as far as Windows booting up I think that's solely hardware based. And because I also have Ubuntu it goes directly to GRUB, not to Windows.

Also, what's with the Vista-style green loading? Windows 7 has the one that actually SAYS what it's doing... did they make some custom hacked version of Windows 7 or something?
