Windows 7 Boots Slower Than Vista ?!

IoIo Technologies, a PC Tune-up software company, disclosed its findings to CNET yesterday that Windows 7 doesn't boot as fast as Vista:

IoIo Technlogies [...] said its lab unit found that a brand-new machine running Windows 7 takes a minute and 34 seconds to become usable, as compared to a minute and 6 seconds for Windows Vista. Iolo notes that it measured not the time it takes for the desktop to appear--which can be as little as 40 seconds on a fresh installation of Windows 7--but rather the time it takes to become fully usable "with CPU cycles no longer significantly high and a true idle state achieved."

Interesting. But coming from a PC Tune-up company, IMO, this needs further investigation.

I, for one, don't notice the lag at all. In fact, waking up from 'Hibernation', Windows 7 seems snappier than Vista.

Other Windows 7 users, what can you say about your unit's boot time?
