PC Pro: Windows 8 boots so quickly it's impossible to access the boot menu, Microsoft has said - meaning it's had to redesign how users access setup and safe mode.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
Marketing crap
First class PR bullshit. The bootscreen works by a delay timer which you can set-up yourself in any version of Windows, which in turn means that the OS _can't_ be too fast for it, as the boot process is forced to wait for X number of milliseconds before booting through.
I'd like to see Windows beat Ubuntu's boot speed, which as of now is still faster, and surprise surprise, never had any problems or fundamental changes to the boot menu.
haha microsoft microsoft, lying about products is apples job.
all you would need to do is hold a button down when the computer starts. Other OS's do this, including OSX. Microsoft PR is stupid
Honestly not switching from Windows 7. Based on my experience with Windows OS, they always release a good one following by a crap one. Remember Vista was all about visuals and game performance etc....and look how that turned out.
7 Is awesome and I don't want anything new yet at all.
