Well, the rush of Windows 8 has passed and now we can actually get a realistic analysis out of it. Besides, The 90-day trial "Download for free" avaible for averyone makes us easy to go thru with this search and you can even get a home-made proof of it.

The faster the start for a computer, the less time you spend waiting for it to fire up.

It’s something that Microsoft has been whacking on since BUILD last year, during which the company showed off how fast a Windows 8 machine could fire up. At the end of the process, how much progress has it made? Some, but perhaps not as much as you might have anticipated.

According to a study executed by TechSpot, Windows 8 boots one-third faster than Windows 7. Here’s the graph from its report:

If you want to run the math, head here.

Here’s the rub: on a lighting fast modern PC – specs from TechSpot at the end of this post – Windows 8 is abut a third faster.
