If there’s one thing that drives geeks crazy, it’s a slow-booting system. That’s why for Windows 8, Microsoft went back to the drawing board to redesign the boot process for speed.


What they came up with was a hybrid of cold booting and hibernate mode – essentially the internal Windows processes use hibernate all the time, but the drivers start up like they would on a cold boot. The difference looks something like this:

Pretty cool, although I never really did care about boot time myself, or all the bells and whistles like aero or any of that. I prettymuch disable everything I can, and save my PCU for my CGI and graphics programs. I just care about stability and my programs running smoothly. I probably won't be switching anytime soon, because that usually means getting all new programs because the upgrades screw with compatability all the time :p

Boot time don't affect me much, because the only time my computer is really off is during power outages lol. I never have it hibernating, always have it rendering or doing something usually. :D
