  Delivering fast boot times in Windows 8
Time: 10:55 EST/15:55 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Robert Stein

When it comes to talking about "fundamentals" we want to start with boot time no feature gets talked about and measured more. We designed Windows 8 so that you shouldn't have to boot all that often (and we are always going to work on reducing the number of required restarts due to patching running code). But when you do boot we want it to be as fast as possible. This is a very deep topic and we have a lot of folks focused on it. We made a bigger leap in this area with Windows 8 than we have in a long time due in no small part to cooperation across the whole ecosystem. Gabe Aul, a director of program management in Windows, authored this post (a first in what will be a series of posts on fundamentals).
