TheSSDReview have a guide to speeding up the boot time of your PC. There are some other things you can do than just slapping an SSD in your system and setting the SATA mode to AHCI or RAID to achieve ultra-fast boot times by using the latest hardware. When we say ultra-fast, we mean powered off system to desktop in 6-10 seconds.

Wired report on the decline in PC sales. Meanwhile, researchers at IDC, which doesn’t count tablets in its report, calculated an 11.8 percent drop year-over-year to 66.1 million PCs shipped. To put that number into context, Apple said in its most recent earnings report that it had sold 61 million iPhones during the same quarter—and that’s just one smartphone from one (massively popular) company.
Microsoft have provided more info on the free Windows 10 upgrade scheme. "With the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft will provide new features and functionality over time," another slide in the short PowerPoint presentation said. "We will continue to keep it current for the supported lifetime of the device. We think of Windows as a Service -- continuous updates over time."
