That's strange. SSD for me, boots way faster than SATA or SAS. That's one of the big advantages. The little ring that goes clockwise and made of white dots just takes forever.
If you add the Start8 or one of the other five or so start converters, it not only changes things, it basically gives you Win 7 on the desktop and then with the Windows key, you go right to the Start 8 Menu. So you get the best of both worlds.
Still debating on installing Win 7, and then do the above in a VM.
