Laptop Vista32, Core2 T7400 @2.16 GHz = 40 secs to see the desktop. Netbook XP Pro, Atom CPU N270@ 1.60 GHz = 45 secs to see the desktop. Startup is longer (about 15 secs more) if Shadow Defender is scheduled at boot.They both shut down in 14 secs.
Pentium 4 630 Prescott. Single OS (XP Home). Comodo Time Machine Installed. Startup programs include Avira Personal, XP Firewall, WinPatrol, CTM, Sandboxie, and Pop Peeper. Cold boot to stable desktop took 58 seconds.
For my win XP (no anti virus) it takes me 1min15 sec to logon and get a working desktop. I have online armour + Sandboxie. CPU: 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, 5400 rpm HDD

From pressing the boot up (power up) button to loggin = 25 seconds dead with no tweak & all system loaded. Win7x64, 4GB RAM, Intel i5 750 and Intel 80GB SSD. I think the SSD makes a huge different to the boot up speed. I think.
I don't know exactly how many seconds, but it's less than 30 seconds. Microsoft Security Essentials v2 beta is installed.

well in my notebooks Intel Core 2 Duo T5470 4 GB ram Windows 7 PRO it takes 40 seconds from start to windows welcome screen + 20 seconds of loading services. In the desktop Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 4 Gb Ram Nvidia Geforce 9600GT DDR3 512MB windows 7 pro all the process takes 32 seconds.
Windows 7 - c2duo/4gb ram - intel SSD 80gb hdd button on to bios done - 12 seconds bios done to login screen - 10 seconds login screen to active desktop - 3 seconds If you keep the bios boot portion out of a discussion of "how quickly do you boot into Windows", that is 13 seconds. Not too shabby. Sul.
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with very strict security setup. Cold start (From BIOS password to Fully functional desktop) = 45-47 sec
My main laptop : Initial start-up is fast , but not that fast . Of course - after 30 seconds (may be I should vote 30-60 sec.) to have a working machine. But it is pretty much always being either ON or in STAND-BY (SLEEP) modes so after sleep mode , it loads for a second-two. Intel Core2 Duo , 3 GB RAM , Windows 7 Home Premium
It's so much fun to see people computer boot for more than 5 minutes . Wow , this is a disaster (unless it's a server).
My Win 7 (fresh install, no AV) takes 1min15 sec to get to desktop Core2Duo 2.6Ghz, 5400rpm HDD. I dont get how all you other guys are booting inside a 45 secs; any special tweaks you have done?
I neutered services I will never use. Turned off the firewall and defender. No AV or other scanner of any kind. I have a few applications that run on bootup, like the HTOmega sound panel, volumouse, Intel SSD tray thingee, Sandboxie. Not much really. Honestly the SSD drive shaved I would say a good 15 seconds off the boot time. I am very happy with that purchase, even though it is only 80gb. Sul.
