50-60 seconds on Vista, loaded with a ton of programs.
Although I haven't really timed it; just feels like that long to me. |

My laptop shuts down in 15 seconds, and I made it to the forums in 45 seconds since the time I pressed my power button.

boot time: 12 seconds, 15 seconds when including password typing (imac 2.93 dual core, 4gb ram)
shutting down without any programs still open is about 6 seconds |

12-16 minutes on my olderish Acer laptop but its been through alot.
Scariest thing is how long it takes me to shut it down (Properly) One time it took 42 minutes  My current computer that i use for university and stuff takes about 10 seconds to boot and 20 to shut down. |

Ubuntu on a high-end computer is really fast, but I'm not sure if it's that fast. OSX is also pretty quick, but again I'm not sure if it's *that* fast.

Haven't ever timed anything, but Windows 7 loads so much faster than Vista.

If boot time and speed is what you're after, then get either DSL, Puppy Linux or Feather Linux. I have absolutely no idea which one to get at the minute, they're all similar but which one's the best?
