The latest iteration of Microsoft's flagship Windows operating system is apparently capable of booting in just seconds.
Although Windows 8 is coded to minimize reboots, Microsoft rep Steve Sinofsky confirmed that Redmond had made a "leap" in accelerating boot time due to "cooperation across the whole ecosystem."
Indeed, according to Microsoft exec Gabe Aul, Windows 8 is is able to execute speedy startups because the kernel simply hibernates, instead of completely closing when the user session is closed.
"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," Aul explained in an official blog post.
