My main OS takes about 40 seconds to boot. It's Fedora Core 2... I plan on doing Linux from scrath soon, because FC2 has a lot of bloat  Windows XP Pro takes about three minutes... same PC. They're on a dual boot thing. |

It takes roughly 10 seconds to get from the XP loading screen to the login screen. No problems at all.  The Celery with Windows XP though... We're talking around 2-3 minutes but there's almost nothing installed on it so loading time after login is OK. |

| On average, for our three computers, 2 minutes. The two computers with Windows XP are the slowest, while mine with Windows 98 generally takes less than a minute for everything to start, from power button to desktop. The time for the two XP computers is from loading screen to desktop, sadly... | |||

| my laptop used to take only about 20 seconds to boot up. But after installing a lot of stuff and bloating the registry, it's been pushing 1 minute. As for my desktop, it takes about 30 minutes since it doesn't like cold booting  |

i wonder, for those who leave their non-server computers on all day and night, i wonder if you guys pay for the electricity you guys use up?  oh well, even if i had to pay for my own electricity, i'd leave it on all day anyways |

| Under 30 seconds, I'm willing to bet around 15. Three desktop icons, five quicklaunch icons. Having a fresh install of XP always helps. I usually shut down at night so no one else around here messes with the comp... and I log off totally to disconnect my dialup, seeing as how it doesn't seem to detect when it's on when I go to do so manually  |

| About 2 minutes when I just rebooted, I have a lot of programs in startup and a large HTML desktop image. If I hadn't removed a bunch of programs so my mom could use it while I was away without killing it, probably more around 2:20. For my laptop (Win98), about a minute, not counting the time to put in the startup password. |

Heh ... I thought it might be good to include that 24/7 option ... just considered Acmlm's server, from which many people already leeched some stuff - heh, there are also some people having running their box all-the-day long ... though I don't believe it will be really 365 days a year ...  Getting some (vital) Windows updates for for example _require_ a reboot, hehe  (edited by Surlent on 09-01-04 05:00 AM) |

| Desktop (XP) takes about 15-20 seconds, laptop (Debian GNU/Linux, 2.6.8.1) takes about 30-45, and at least 10-15 of that's GDM/X starting up. Comp's don't use so much power anyway, just the monitors. At least I tell my parents that... |
