I was so pleased with my boot time and how clean the 98micro install was on my carputer, that I formated my hard drive on my home desktop machine and installed 98micro on it, I did the same tweaks i did to the other one except with this one after it was done installing windows I added internet explorer 5 to it. My total boot time from cold boot to finished loading windows is 22seconds... most of the hardware is different too... so it just goes to show that if you install it small and do all possible tweaks you can usually get a low boot time unless your bios post is like 90% of your problem... the bios post on both of these lasts about 12 to 15 seconds...
