The Truth About Fast Boot and Windows 8
Cold boot, or hybrid hibernation?
Friday, January 24, 2014 by RedneckDude | Discussion: Personal Computing
Truth about the fast boot in 8 being a hybrid hibernate and not a full shutdown.
When running a windows gadget that shows uptime on it, I shutdown. Then start back up, and the uptime meter never stopped running. Even after being "shutdown" for 8 hours.
A restart, however, resets the uptime meter to zero.
All the online info about fast boot says that a restart isn't affected.
This shows that Windows 8, with fast boot enabled, doesn't actually shut down, it goes into hybrid hibernation mode, hence the ability to seemingly boot up in 10 seconds or so, with a UEFI BIOS and UEFI OS.

Eeew! Think I'd rather they shipped Amanda Vanstone... or is that Manstones? The point is, who in their right mind would want her after Tommy Lee's been there... and after all those years on Baywatch, you'd be picking out sand for a few more years yet. You know what it's like when you go to the beach. Sand gets everywhere... in your togs, in your hair, in your... and wiping afterwards feels all gritty.
Nah, if Amazon were to send me somebody, I'd take Anna Silk.
...she was Kid Rock's plaything and Amazon used a one-way drone to ensure she's never in stock again.
