Flash can dump its memory much faster [than traditional drives]. One of the limitations right now is that they are using the old hard drive interface ... and it's bottlenecking at the drive interface," Enderle noted. Once the bottleneck is fixed, newer flash drives "are expected to be blindingly fast. Even with these flash drives, we're talking about PC boot times in the ten-second range."

Interesting.

Don't worry. I'm sure MS will figure out a way to slow it down to the normal 70 seconds or so.
