Oh aren't you clever. No Windows boots in seconds.
Recent versions of Windows can indeed get you to the login screen pretty quickly, much of the time. But, after that, the time it takes for you to go from the login screen to a functional, usable desktop can be several minutes. Perhaps not on a home computer, I don't know... but I've seen this happen quite a bit on our work machines on those unfortunate occasions I've needed to log into a Windows computer for whatever reason (which fortunately is not a daily occurrence).
