My computer right now boots at about 15 seconds. The logoff takes (whether I reboot or shut down) 10 seconds.
Gigabyte GA-M55plus S3G rev 2.1
AMD Athlon X2 5600+ 2.9 Ghz "Brisbane"
4GB Kingston DDR2 800 RAM
512MB NVidia Geforce 8400 GS (my "ill-fated" video card until I upgrade)
320GB Western Digital SATA drive
Startup programs: WinAMP Agent, Unlocker Assistant, OpenOffice 3.0 Quickstarter, sound card CP.
Probably a hybrid drive with small flash drive section. Does Win 7 support placing boot info on the flash drive portion of a hybrid drive like Vista? If so that would make for a quick boot time.

I consider my computer fully booted when Homer says "To start press anykey, Where's the anykey". I've replaced the startup sound with the Homer .wav, when I hear Homie my machine is fully functional.
From pressing "start" button until everything is loaded and ready for service is 2 min, 15 sec. This includes Live Mesh loading and synching, printer loaded and ready to print, Windows Home server recognized and "shaking hands" and everything that I can observe being "loaded and situated" and ready to perform work. This compares with approximately equal or slightly slower times in XP and Vista times on the order of three times as long. I have never "stop watched" Vista or XP (nor 7 until right now), but I can press the start button on Vista Home Premium and go to the kitchen and not only pour a cup of coffee, but drink it and pour a second cup and come back and wait for the Live Mesh, Logitech mouse, and HP printer to finish loading.
