The laptop mentioned above now has a solid state hard drive and runs the latest version of Ubuntu - 10.04, Lucid Lynx. It boots up as a workable machine in 23.3 seconds which I think is pretty impressive. It takes an additional 26 seconds to find a hidden wireless network. So that's well within a minute to be surfing the internet.

See I knew it was bollocks.<BR/><BR/>The time for the Vista start up seemed way too quick for me. It seems to boot up much faster if it isn't the first reboot of the day. So I timed it first thing.<BR/><BR/><B>4 minutes 32 seconds</B> to load Google onto Firefox on my "fastest" computer.

I installed Windows 7 on the laptop that had the fastest time with Ubuntu and XP.<BR/><BR/>1 minute 51 seconds to load a home page. So quicker than Vista on a slower machine. That has to be progress.
