A while back a friend showed me this video. I decided today that I should see how long it takes to load all of Office.  It's hard to tell exactly what Office components they used, but I settled on Word, Excel, Outlook, Publisher, OneNote, and Powerpoint.

I'm not sure the best way to launch a bunch of apps at once, but I settled on a batch file.  My batch file looks like this:

START WinWord
START Excel
START Outlook
START MSPub
START OneNote
START Powerpnt

And the results....................

2.7 seconds.

Obviously the insane setup in that video is faster, but I think 2.7 seconds is very good with one drive.
