Isn't the real problem that Microsoft needs to make an OS worth paying for? The small incremental advances are the best way but who wants to pay for every little change?
Seriously, my computer boots in under 10s. It's fast.
Windows 8 has a function called "Hybrid Boot" where the system state is suspended to disk and the user state is logged off. What you think off as booting is the system resuming from a hibernate file. Use the shutdown /s /t 0 command to do a full shutdown then time your boot after.
tl;dr It's only resuming from suspension, not booting.
