Background loading in the GRUB boot menu?

I don't know if this is a practical improvement. The idea goes something something like this. If you
like me run a dual boot setup I get annoyed having to press the return button on my laptop during
boot to save time. So I thought why cant the default Linux distribution automatically start loading in
the background. At least put files in RAM. In the less likely event I want to start Windows, the
background loading should abort and start Windows as usual.
With this, if I set the wait-time to less than the distribution boot time. I know I don't have to bother
engaging the bootmenu to save time. Just leave it as it is.

The Electric Grid Vehicle

Made a sketch of what I consider to be an interesting future transport development. The idea is that you wirelessly draw power from the road to charge electric vehicles on the move. With induction strips embedded in the road you wouldn't have to stop to recharge as previous as with fossil fuels. Available energy from the road also means the battery could be made cheaper and a lot less heavy.

The image displays a Grid Car on its way past an old gas station. The car is a hybrid for the longer distances between electrified roads.

With this I would like to show that an electric vehicle future might not be so bad after all. Of cause an electric car future would mean more IT so more opportunities for Linux.
