This is a great advance for laptops, because as far as I'm concerned, the faster my machine boots, even those few seconds that are being shaved off, the better. If more manufacturers, for example Apple, could do this, it would be a great incentive for me to upgrade from my current machine. My current laptop takes a good 2-3 minutes to fully boot now, and as far as I'm concerned, that's unacceptable.
