Counting the BIOS time hardly seems fair when reviewing an operating system.

Well, as I see it our editor was reviewing hardware&software.

27 seconds is nothing special, my pretty default Kubuntu install on my EeePC 901 takes 28 seconds. So 27 is bad for a custom install IMO.

And this also shows how great the 7 seconds ChromeOS needs to login are.
Different ballgame.
