    Wow, my 12.1 seconds on my legacy notebook (RM74/DDR2 with a SSD) is positively lame considering the competition in the 4.4 range.. On the other hand, why worry about boot times when the machine's constantly up :)

    Good to know. I asked Intel about it, and here is their reply:

    I take it that all UEFI cards will have a signed option ROM.

    What manner of devil is THIS startup time in Win8 Enterprise? It's either the very best one here or the worst, I'm not sure. Note that there's not even really any room for it, since the space between the tabs and the body is much shorter than what's being shown in other posts.

    Is this boot time like 4-5 seconds is from power button to Metro UI (bios + windows) or it only show boot time spent on windows loading?

    My theory is that it's only for UEFI systems.
