Can Microsoft Achieve A Sub 15 Seconds Boot Time With Windows 7?

Although they haven’t set it as an official objective, it seems Microsoft have set an unofficial target of achieving a sub 15 seconds boot time with Windows 7.  On the Windows 7 Engineering blog Michael Fortin stats that:

In the lab, a very good system is one that boots in under 15 seconds.

The fastest I’ve ever managed to get a Windows system to boot is just over a minute, so I’d be amazed if Microsoft do achieve a sub 15 second boot time for Windows 7.  I don’t think they will be able to do this alone and will probably need hardware and software manufacturers to play ball.

Do you think it’s achievable?
