Last year, I read where Microsoft had set a 15 second boot time as a goal for their new Windows 7 operating system on "reasonable" hardware.

My two-year old machine must be "unreasonable" because it takes 20 seconds.

P.S. Intel Core 2 Duo, E6550 on an Asus motherboard. WD 500Gb at 7,200 RPM. Booting Windows 7, 32Bit from a VHD file.
