8 is really great at booting fast. i have a laptop with a 7200rpm disk and it appears to boot faster than my win7 desktop that has an SSD in it

but it's windows 8 and so i never use it unless i absolutely have to look at win8

i'm wait thurott on the win8.1 update 1 changes too

imagine all your iPad apps grew window management controls just because "some people want to use a keyboard and mouse", you'd be a little offended right? though I think they did an okay job hiding them unless you absolutely need them (they don't appear unless you actually mouse to the top of the screen)

the more i use GNOME 3, the more it feels like microsoft's old pre-Win8 vision of tablet-friendly computing, just with all the system-level changes necessary to make it as friendly as possible for input methods

here's the thing, windows doesn't have to fully start the whole system to display that login prompt

it keeps loading stuff in the background

it may not be your user stuff but if the pin is what's holding you back, well, I dunno

also why are you cold booting so much that this is a problem

just let it go to sleep/hibernate
