Abstract
Methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for enhanced system boot processing that is faster to launch an operating system, as certain devices such as user input hardware devices may not be initialized unless it is determined that a user-interruption to the boot process is likely. That is, although an interface for the devices is exposed, no initialization occurs unless a call to the interface occurs. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
