Here is another Intresting Update from Microsoft Windows 8 development Team about boot times in Window 8.They showed in a video How fast Windows 8 would boot on Unified Extensible Firmware Interface enabled systems.
They Metioned their Challenges as :
- Effectively zero watt power draw when off (Sleep Mode)
- A fresh session after boot
- Very fast times between pressing the power button and being able to use the PC.
“The key thing to remember though is that in a traditional shutdown, we close all of the user sessions, and in the kernel session we close services and devices to prepare for a complete shutdown.
Now here’s the key difference for Windows 8: as in Windows 7, we close the user sessions, but instead of closing the kernel session, we hibernate it. Compared to a full hibernate, which includes a lot of memory pages in use by apps, session 0 hibernation data is much smaller, which takes substantially less time to write to disk.
They also have shown the comparision between Windows7 cold boot and Windows8 boot times on 30 different PCs’
