Windows 8

oops

Yes, in modern second gen i3,5,7 and their intel chipsets you can keep hybernation (or a very extreme version of it) without power, it basically just saves all your state info in to the ram (of course 4gb of ram at the very least are needed for this. I do this all the time with my laptop, saves me from lenghty boot times, plus I can continue where I left off.

So yes, they are “cheating” you, in this hybernation thingie-majig I also see the post logo (in my case, acer).

Furthermore, the spec was mentioned, this makes a huge different, my PC (not laptop) boots in under 10 seconds (counting only from “windows is loading blackscreen” to usable desktop), mainly due to 2x SSD SATA 6gbps in Striped RAID.

Point I´m trying to make is that, if you know what you´re doing and have a decent laptop or PC, you can essentially do what you just saw in that video

She’s got titty wires.

Well that explanation was just asking for itself.
it’s just like a battery inside your m-board, only on much bigger scale.

By the way, I’ll admit, me ranting about app vs application was purely my e-peen talking. It’s just retarded. Yeah, it’s short for application, but it was injected into the mainstream with the advent of widely popularized mobile computing.

my PC boots in ~10 seconds with a regular mechanical 7200rpm drive and I have a shitton of stuff on it… thought solid state was supposed to be faster…:[

A bunch of words to explain how you are stupid and hate things because they are main stream. GTFO hipster.

^this

I admit, I lol’d. I highly doubt it’ll really boot that fast, but if it does, it’ll be awesome. Not necessarily useful, but still awesome.

Don’t have to worry about boot time if you don’t turn off your computer :3 .

Though I’m not referring to laptops I suppose.

Hibernation actually saves your session to hiberfil.sys on your hard drive, and requires zero power. You need as much free space on your hard drive as you have installed memory.

Suspend (AKA Sleep) is what uses the RAM, and it requires a trickle of power. Because it is simply maintaining whatever is already in memory, it works with any amount of RAM.

Both these technologies have been around since the Pentium 4/Windows XP and earlier.

Hopefully it’ll be vastly superior to Windows 7 so Apple has a reason to actually develop a new OS as well instead of bandaiding OSX for 10 years straight.

God damnit Bolteh, your bigass avatar scared me somehow.

windows 7 is already vastly superior to OSX and it still hasn’t caused apple to do anything. Apple never will improve their product just to compete because they don’t actually compete, their audience is entirely different and concerned with being trendy over actually having utility. The only time apple releases new and improved products it’s so people who own their older model’s will want to upgrade…

indeed, Apple has been playing on pretty much the same interface all times

Then obviously I got the details explained to me badly, what I do know is that I wasnt able to do this back in the P4 days so something must have changed.

Regardless, the point of all that was to explain that, what you see in the video isn´t a real boot.

I have to admit I find that hard to believe, unless you´re using a linux distro instead of Windows (in which case I completely believe).

And yes, SSDs are stupidly faster than normal HDDs, specially if sata 6gbps capable, and on raid even more so.

I tried to read this between the herps and derps, but the only thing I was able to comprehend was the “and it still”, but the rest was just some old gobbeldygook.

Seriously, guys, do your homework. Its a hybrid system of sleep and reboot, and the kernel loads from a said hybrid file.

also, if you can’t be assed following the link, boom:
How it works

Boot times

You can see windows 8 boots at a fast consistently, where as windows 7 suffers on certain hardware.

So it’s basically something like the HTC fast boot, so if you disable it(if you can), it’ll do a cold boot and be as quick as windows 7?

I assume so. We’ll see how well it functions in the real world.
