Probably gonna enter into the top ten most boring posts ever, but for some reason I timed my boot this morning.
AMD Athlon 2Ghz | 1.25Gb RAM + ReadyBoost | Windows 7 RC | Boot time = 1:20
Not the fastest thing in the world, actually have 2Gb RAM but one stick decided to give up. Basically waiting a few more months until Windows 7 is out properly then it's whole new computer time 
Go!

First machine i could lay my hands on at work:
Intel P4 3Ghz | 504mb ram | XP Pro = 17.9 seconds
Not the quickest machine in the office either, just a customer machine i had on my desk

Oh yeah I'm talking about when all your boot programs are ready to use btw... not just from when the start button appears, but still, that's pretty fecking good

Ever tried TinyXP or TinyVista? they boot in about 30 seconds (Only tried xp one) on my laptop, AMD turion x64 dual core, 2 gigs ram they are really good if your comp is a bit older or you just want something faster. I put 7RC on because all the drivers are automatically installed an my laptops a pain in the arse for them (couldnt find xp drivers for the fingerprint scanner or touch screen). Never timed 7 booting but seems fast always put it on hibernate though.

Yeah have found Windows 7 driver support is fantastic! I have Vista on another partition, and XP on another drive...
Might fire them all up to compare
