Right now, if you switch on your Xbox 360, it takes quite some time for he console to do its boot up splash screen, and become useable – and it’s only gotten worse over time as each dashboard iteration has added more and more features (and adverts). That is likely to change with the Xbox One.
This is apparently leaked footage of the Xbox One boot sequence, which is pretty damned fast and zippy. Excuse the diagonal stripe, that’s likely just a watermark. It could also be fake, and made from images of the dash we’ve seen, coupled with some fancy video editing.
I really hope it is this quick – because that’s what console gaming is supposed to be about. For reference, the dev units we’ve see don’t boot up that way – but they are dev units, not running final retail software.

Open beer on the way to the console, then use boot up time to sit down and take first sip.

Your console will just have to wait for you to put the beer down after that first sip.

I am sure the Xbone will also shit Unicorns out of its Heat Sinks. But you have to admit that the negative rants from gamers is due to very poor marketing. The Negative snowball started rolling when they told gamers outside of the 21 countries that had Xbone support to fuck off.
