Is DOS considered an OS?

It really depends on how you customize your setup - the easiest Linux distribution to customize would be Gentoo by far, though, the easiest to use would be Debian.
Anyways, I'd say if you customize your kernel build, and what modules loaded on boot, Gentoo would have the easiest potential to be the "fastest".

A long time ago, Microsoft claimed that Windows 7 was going to be able to boot up (as in logged in and idle on the desktop) in 10-15 seconds.

Before Windows came out, all we used was MS-DOS.

| Well I can get vista to boot up in about 8 seconds for me but this can only be achieved after some heavy tweaking.

Gentoo boots pretty slow on both of my PCs. Arch is much faster.

But you have to take into consideration how indepth have you customized it?
I think i am going to try Gentoo (customized), Arch (customized), xPUD, Moblin and DSL to see which is faster.

I'm not sure they would make that statement, because I'm sure they are aware that boot time depends nearly completely on the hardware of the computer.
