Instant-booting a computer can’t happen until its peripherals know how to come up instantly in a known ready state, rather than taking several seconds to initialize and get in sync with the operating system.
With todays technology, it shouldn't be too hard. Similar to telling a BIOS it doesn't have to do a discovery check each boot. A couple discovery tweaks for new peripherals shouldn't be too hard to incorporate. All it will require is a little more standardization.
