According to the New York Times, computer manufactures are attempting to decrease the bulk of time it takes your PC to boot up, seeing as consumers are very impatient and want to do multitasking at hyper-speed immediately after they hit the power button.

Nowadays the computer industry is doing it's utmost best to return to consumers some of those valuable seconds. Therefore in the months to come, the world's greatest PC manufacturers intend to launch a new generation of quick-start computers.

Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Lenovo companies are introducing machines that enable users to perform main functions like e-mail and Web browsing in 30 seconds or less. In the meanwhile Asus, a Taiwanese company, the world's largest maker of the circuit boards at the center of every computer, can boast about creating faster-booting software.

It is noticeable, that even the giant, Microsoft is often accused of slow-moving start-up times. Therefore, the company has promised to contribute to the next version of the operating system, stating that a very good system should boot in under 15 seconds. Statistically, only 35 percent of machines that run the latest version of Windows, known as Vista, boot in 30 seconds or less. Apple Macintoshes boot more quickly in comparison to Windows machines, however Macs still seem slow to the major part of consumers.
According to Gary Small, a professor at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles, our brains have become impatient with the boot-up process and people have been spoiled by hand-held devices.

As the industry is competitive, and profit margins are very thin, every company is searching for any opportunity to promote. A Hewlett-Packard study indicated that when boot time goes over a few minutes, consumers experience an excessive sense of the time it takes. Four or five minutes is even worse and can create the illusion of an eternity.

In June, H.P. presented a new kind of fast-booting laptop, which cost $1,200. Today the company's aim is to launch computers with boot time between 30-45 seconds. And in 18 months it will reduce from 20 to 30 seconds.

While Microsoft looks for a way to remarkably reduce the time it takes to load Windows, PC producers are speeding up boot times with the help of programs that avoid Windows. Though, the systems vary technically, they all rely on a version of an operating system called Linux that gives users prompt access to Web browsing and other basic functions on their computer. In some cases, Windows never boots, while in others, Windows starts in the background.

To bypass slow boot times some computer users never turn off their machines, simply leaving them on standby mode. However, it is not a solution as often times it is very difficult to wake them up from standby and then eventually they crash the longer they run without rebooting. Also, if you leave a machine on, it wastes electricity and, it can cause battery drain, especially for laptops.
