Luv the fast bootup starting with Windows 8.1.

I never have understood comments like this about boot up time. I wouldn't care if my Linux desktop took ten minutes to boot, because it's something that only happens quarterly at best, and that's only if I'm wanting to upgrade to the latest kernel.For almost any other software installation and updates, rebooting is not required so it's not an issue.

Unless you're rebooting your computer multiple times per day, boot time should really not even be a consideration.

Well, that’s your opinion. It’s important to me and clearly important to others—else they wouldn’t have made it so much quicker.
