I am interested in the following tests:
1. Bootup
2. Shutdown
3. IE8
4. Launch Word Processing
5. Launch Spreadsheet
6. Search for one specific file on disk
Thanks
Seriously bootup and shutdown speeds have no relivance to the OS's operation...and can be easily tweaked to suit anyway, although to answer your question regarding launching Word and Excel....under 2 seconds, as for file search thats again subjective since depends on indexing, how much ram is assigned and is being used, as well as how many files are on the driver being searched...plus drive type, speed and cache....which varies on many systems since Solid State HD's are lightning fast compared to SATA and IDE.
The only true benchmarks worth a damn are ones that show security holes and obviously gaming benchmarks that test the rig to it's limits.
