The idea sounds cool. If you read through the comments, people are discussing how they did it.

I like this idea though: offload boot up time from start up to shutdown. Basically, hijack whatever windows uses to shutdown, instead make the computer reboot and either hibernate at the login screen, or take a hibernation snapshot at the login screen and turn off.

Either way, I'd be much more likely to shut off my computer at night/etc. I hate waiting for my computer to boot.

The ASRock solution has a lot of requirements: new mobo, windows xp, no password protection, etc. But I know people here are competent developers... it would be cool to see someone here put together what they're doing all in software, without the requirements, and make it fast.

Hm...

does anyone else feel like punching those testers after watching that?
