Window's supposedly "fast" bootup time is all smoke and mirrors. If you'll observe, even after the login or welcome screen appears, there is still significant disk activity going on. This is because there are still some drivers that are being loaded in the background. Then there's the time it takes to load more drivers, other startup programs, and spyrwares once you log in.
