Instant on motherboards

I watched that video of the motherboard booting straight to windows in like a second or two from IDF 2009 at the Phoenix booth- anyone know when this will be available on motherboards generally?

Get an SSD, not a new motherboard. My system (sig) boots in 15 seconds, with POST taking longer than starting Windows.

Oh I agree It's the post that this new bios tech knocks out:

Combine this with the fastest SSD, maybe one of those fusion i/o drives- you could have an instant-on media center machine dedicated to playing movies.
