Windows 8 will start faster

Windows 8 will start faster

When booting Windows 8 will break with the tradition of its predecessor,
the Microsoft developers promise to talk in her blog, where they
probably calculated on details of the upcoming version of the operating
system. Thus, Windows is 8 when rebooting not layer by layer loaded from
mass storage and memory initialized fresh, but be quick mixed together
from parts of a conventional cold starts and a continuation of the idle
state (English Hibernate, and Suspend to Disk).

Catalyst for this paradigm shift was evident from the observation that
about half of all Windows 7 users their computers during breaks rather
shut down, instead of being put into sleep mode or hibernation. As a
result, they experience the boot process every time in full length.
Microsoft developers have identified as the cause for this that it's
users is obviously uncomfortable for the computer to a hand in the
energy saving mode (Sleep) continues to draw power for the memory, they
have but on the other hand after waking from sleep no freshly booted
system at hand . This led the developers at Microsoft as a goal to make
the Windows boot process with eight short as possible, without the
computer consume energy when switched off, or continue a previously
targeted frozen whole system state.

Their solution: When you shut down a Windows-8 system is indeed the user
session, including all processes terminated normally, the kernel has,
however, is sent into hibernation and its current state is buffered on
the hard disk. If you start the computer, the kernel session is mirrored
from the hard disk into RAM. Then begins the user via the log-in screen
a fresh user session. According to the test runs of Microsoft are
two-fold speed advantage. 1st The kernel is quickly awakened from sleep
mode when restarted. 2nd avoids what has just spoils users with lots of
RAM in the computer to sleep yet often: Do not just the kernel, but the
entire system state including the desktop and user session as well as
running applications and to open files can be reconstructed from the
hard disk, which takes in previous Windows versions are often longer
than a regular reboot.

For an extra kick to ensure that multi-core processors are now working
in parallel to the restoration of the status of the RAM disk. The
Microsoft developers report on their tests would run faster with Windows
8 of the new boot method on most systems, 30 to 70 percent as Windows 7

Windows 8 will appear, according to Steve Ballmer in 2012. However, it
is expected that Microsoft will build, at its 13th Conference to 16
September in Anaheim, California will introduce a beta version.
