Boot Vista in 4 seconds
PCLaunches.com —
Sounds like a fantasy? Nopes. Its reality. ASRock has found ways to tweak Vista so that it can be booted in just 4 seconds!!! To achieve such a marvelous result, ASRock manipulated the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface that Microsoft manipulates for its sleep and hibernate modes. Basically, all they have done is some kind of tweaks in the backend of the shutdown process. Hope one day all get to boot Vista in 4 seconds.
