If you can find CHIP magazine May issue you will find a lot ways to decrease time required to load Windows Vista.They managed to cut 20sec of windows loading time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_fea...o_Windows_Vista
Main article: Windows Vista I/O technologies

* SuperFetch caches frequently-used applications and documents in memory, and keeps track of when commonly used applications are usually loaded, so that they can be pre-cached and it also prioritizes the programs currently used over background tasks. SuperFetch aims to negate the negative performance effect of having anti-virus or backup software run when the user is not at the computer. Superfetch is able to learn at what time of a given day an application is used and so it can be pre-cached.
* ReadyBoost, makes PCs running Windows Vista more responsive by using flash memory on a USB drive (USB 2.0 only), SD Card, Compact Flash, or other form of flash memory, in order to boost system performance. When such a device is plugged in, the Windows Autoplay dialog offers an additional option to use it to speed up the system; an additional "ReadyBoost" tab is added to the drive's properties dialog where the amount of space to be used can be configured.[38]. ReadyBoost can also use spare RAM on other networked Vista PCs.[39].

* ReadyBoot uses an in-RAM cache to optimize the boot process if the system has 700MB or more memory. The size of the cache depends on the total RAM available, but is large enough to create a reasonable cache and yet allow the system the memory it needs to boot smoothly. ReadyBoot uses the same ReadyBoost service. [40]
* ReadyDrive is the name Microsoft has given to its support for hybrid drives, a new design of hard drive developed by Samsung and Microsoft. Hybrid drives incorporate non-volatile memory into the drive's design, resulting in lower power needs, as the drive's spindles do not need to be activated for every write operation. Windows Vista can also make use of the NVRAM to increase the speed of booting and returning from hibernation.[41]

use vLite to remove unnecessary components from Vista installer DVD, rebuild it back, burn and install. Sure will decrease your boot time with lesser space and RAM usage thanks to decreased amount of services running...

The easiest way is defrag the hard disk. Also install Vista on the fastest hard disk in your pc.

Make Vista Use Multiple Cores to Speed Up Boot Time

This bogus tip made the rounds recently and almost everybody got caught including Lifehacker and big brother site Gizmodo... although commenters called it out quickly on both sides, and the editors updated the posts. (That's yet another reason to always participate in the comments here.)

According to this tip, you were supposed to use MS Config to modify the "Number of processors" drop-down on the Boot tab. The problem is that this setting is only used for troubleshooting and debugging, to be able to determine if there is a problem with a single processor, or for a programmer to test their code against a single core while running on a multi-core system. Windows will use all your processors by default without this setting.

I learn to trust Chip as much as I trust the politicians in Malaysia. They are lacking a bit in Vista's technical know how, and I once had to email them when the glaringly printed many errors in their article about vista, errors that for a professional PC magazine shouldn't have done if the article writer bothers to check Microsoft's forum OR other Vista's inside guide. Somehow they have a tendecy to overglorify OSS and thus lead to biased articles

I did some start up tweaks here and there like delaying the start up of certain programs. It does work though.
