According to foreign media reports, many users are dissatisfied with the slow startup speed of windows, such as snails. Microsoft is considering adding a feature to Windows to change the situation.

Microsoft is investigating some users: If Windows contains an "instant on" function, do you like it? The "instant Boot" function planned by Microsoft can display a desktop that can be used by users in seconds.

According to a questionnaire published on the engadget website, "this concept is called" instant Boot "." instant Boot "can start a computer from the shutdown state in a very short period of time to complete some specific tasks. The experience of "instant Boot" is different from that of "Full windows", which limits the tasks and applications that can be completed by users ."

Faster startup is clearly a priority for Microsoft. Windows 7 may support such a feature. Microsoft engineer Michael Fortin wrote in a blog in May that one of Windows 7's highest goals is to significantly shorten the system startup time. Lab tests show that the startup time of an "excellent" system should be less than 15 seconds.

Microsoft has been working closely with PC vendors to shorten the start time of Windows 7 and Windows Vista systems. The first results of their cooperation will be reflected in the new PCs listed during the Christmas sales season this year. (Compilation/wenqin)
