Whazza, lol thats sure something!

It takes about a minute to boot in either OS X Snow Leopard or Windows 7 on my brand-new-and-still-shiny iMac 27". No matter what config or what OS I had in my entire life (Windows 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7, OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6), it has always taken about a minute, so God only knows what those people do to boot in 10-15 seconds :p The BIOS itself is about 15 seconds, and the EFI may be like 10 seconds...

My hypothesis is that they confuse "hibernation mode" and "shut down", which would make a lot of sense, because coming back from hibernation takes almost no time.

Who cares?

Takes me about 25 seconds or so. :p

Kevin and most the others here :D

will have to measure my times all i know is the p4 with xp boots faster with i7 win 7 >_> (not really to do with the os just the time taken to actually boot the machine and start loading windows~)

XP Pro SP3 - 12 secs. No AV program or firewall on it. This PC takes longer because of this solid colour background bug, (windows 7 - which has been installed, it didnt do a lot, and this 96 DPI bug). You have to request it, but I cant be stuffed trying to figure out what option to choose - 37 secs. 2.8 dual core

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
    • To be clear I'm anti trump, the bigger point is why review this game at all?
    • Trillion dollar Microsoft has to reduce spending by hurting more people. Good job Microsoft. Good Job Asha.
    • That's a shame. The big Xbox reset when Phil and Sarah left and then Asha came on and brought a new team of executives, and all the layoffs last year and saying that the ABK merger wouldn't result in redundancies I am surprised they are calling for yet another reset and yet more layoffs.
