Windows 8 boots in eight seconds

[colejohnson66]

Obviously the put it in hibernate otherwise there would be the starting windows animation

[GameVed]

Featured Video, Best Pole Dance Move Ever, next video.

[KouDeGraw]

whats the ram on that laptop?

[Hellstrom03]

Just wait until u install some of this and some of that...

[shahabycd]

that was so fake

[Mastermind12358]

@shahabycd

yeah because Microsoft would obviously fake something like this. go download the dev preview and see for yourself. idiot.

[TheMeisterize]

what the hell

[xyzedro]

yea...with a SSD it does.......

[DonkeyKong96]

i can't wait for ubuntu to release their next version! Precise Pangolin! WOOTWOOT! it's gonna start up in half that time!

[TankT9]

Wonder how will it boot after adding all the drivers, apps and anti virus software on a average hdd not a fancy new ssd.

[10Moku01]

Boot time doesn't matter. Windows 8 still looks horrible.

[robloxlover55]

58 People Use XP! Aw cmon XP Users!!! Be risestent to change and just try it Out

Noobs! You think because Vista Sucked Means that windows 7 & 8 Suck too! my opinion is to just try it out! Heck i didnt Move To Vista And When 7 Came i decided to try it out now im running windows 8 developer preview And It Runs Perfect

[an65001]

@robloxlover55 XP is a piece of junk this is 1000 times better.

[robloxlover55]

@an65001 lol ikr right?

[an65001]

@robloxlover55 No, Windows XP sucks. Install the Windows 8 developer preview.

[robloxlover55]

@an65001 LOL. I Had Windows 8 developer preview ever since The Time It Came. :3

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@an65001 Windows XP is the latest Windows OS to have DOS program support.

So no, it doesn't really suck.

[StevenWoodhall]

I feel sorry for the people with Windows 2000, thats a long time to wait for boot.

[an65001]

@stevenwoodhall Windows 2000 on a quad core will be fast.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@an65001 Pfft.

Windows 2000 cant even use a dual-core properly.

[an65001]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther Of course it can. Learn something.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@an65001 No it cant. Learn something.

[an65001]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther I know more than you, man, it can. You don't know anything about Operating Systems. It uses a Dual Core better than Windows XP, even. And Windows NT 4 could also use a dual core.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@an65001 So I don't know anything about operating systems if I know a type of processor wasn't even out when an operating system wasn't released.

Are you a fucking retard?

[an65001]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther And Windows XP was made before the dual-core, too! They have dual-processor support, which is same as dual core.

[IAmSomeoneOrOther]

@an65001 Uh.

No.

Dual Processors AREN'T like Dual Cores.

Dual Cores are like 1 person with the strength of two.

Dual Procesors (if each have one core) is like two people with the strength of one (each).

[an65001]

@IAmSomeoneOrOther Physically they are not, but virtually they are. Windows Vista was the first OS to recognize a dual core system from dual-processor.

[txmoney]

I've been following the Win8 development for some time. I am thoroughly impressed so far. Microsoft has been undergoing a sort of renascence since Win7. I look forward to the final release with a level of anticipation that I haven't felt since the Windows 95 launch.

[BOBMOproductions]

Fast processor like i7 990x + a ssd that it boots from will make it very fast

[Ravi5kumar]

hi. Linux boots in 5 seconds and shutdowns in 2 sec. What the hell microsoft is fast????

[janjaso]

@Ravi5kumar linux is a glorified notepad. im suprised it cant load in 0.5 seconds which it should. are you using a commodore 64 or something?

[xBlueberryz]

It goes on the computer / laptop if you got an bad pc and windows 8 it will not boot up in 8 sec

[maw88ify]

"Linux Mint" is just as fast as Windows... and Linux distributions are free...

[Jantest34]

boot 8 sec. for SSD, but not for HDD

[65Hyper]

@Jantest34 I have a 512mb ram HDD laptop, booted in 4 seconds...

[Jantest34]

@65Hyper omg, and my Notebook booted in 20-30 seconds o.O

4GB RAM, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 2.0GHz and HDD...

[greivlooe]

I never turn off my computer XD

[changez07]

cool.

[DjAlexPailloni]

Yeah, on a UEFI rig with a solid state drive ahahaha! New Ubuntu 11.10 12 seconds in a 7200 rpm disk and a dual core processor and 2 GB of RAM... Ubuntu in a SSD and UEFI is crazy faster than Windows

[ajeetajeet]

@DjAlexPailloni Umm but nobody knows what Ubuntu is. :)  So windows wins...

[InsensibleGuy]

What's up with the pole dancing video in the suggestions list?

[little8r07h3r]

It's just like turning on a phone!

Wait, you pretty much are if you're running Windows 8!

[DNO221]

ssd?

[DeltaDoggy]

That was faster than my POST and even loading the starting files for the OS, so that's a well optimised system. It takes at least 8 seconds to even get to the windows logo for me!

[AwkwardTech]

I'm not arguing, but that computer clearly has NOTHING on it in terms of documents and apps ect.

When I save up enough, I'm getting a MAC. I'm sick of this bullshit computer I have now and yes the specs are amazing on my pc but its still SLOW AND LOUD AND HOT.

[satainkara]

Why does my computer (win 8 dp) during "turn off your computer" at the beginning makes a "user exit" and then again press "turn off your computer"? Why not download anything on the Internet - BSOD immediately. Why when you turn off the computer a couple of minutes, turns fan power supply?

[SteelCity1981]

Did anyone else notice a gltich in the video between 31 and 32 seconds? Hmmmm....

[mackjeez]

@SteelCity1981

Its actually between 33-34 and not a "glitch" just editing.

[KilluaXIII]

fuck windows 8, in fact, after the blatant money scheme that vista was, fuck mircosoft.

my xp pro boots fast enough on my ssd

[mackjeez]

@KilluaXIII

Dude you should really get Windows 7, you're missing out, its the most stable OS I've ever used and XP is crap compared to it.

[MikeyCarter1974]

What's it running on? My laptop speed that 8 seconds could be 20 because of slow HD/Processor.

[baidas4]

wtf?

[Orexll]

People that argue on youtube are stupid.

[igotaidsinnarnia]

@Orexll No u.

[Orexll]

@igotaidsinnarnia w/e

[unacal76]

@Orexll NO THEY ARENT lolol

[ComicPenius]

I call BS. That was as fast as resuming from sleep.

[SGTBizarro]

@ComicPenius It's not BS, it's a new mode of hibernation that saves the user state to disk instead of in RAM, which means it can hibernate at 0 power and the resume is much faster than a cold boot.

[ComicPenius]

@SGTBizarro Yeah, but that was 2-3 seconds. Even with an SSD, no other OS can resume from hibernation anywhere near as fast as that. I'm a Windows guy so I hope it's legit but it still seems a bit sus.

[bexhillbob]

So let me get this straight. You just made 2 different types of pasta dishes, and mixed up some muffin batter, and grated some parmesan cheese, and booted Windows 8, all without using a pan? I want one!

[baorichy7]

I blinked and it was already on the menu...

[IVisionLive]

LoL 54 apple fanboys disliked the video... There are just some videos you can't dislike because it doesn't mean anything to you. But of course, for fanboys from apple it means too much.

[TwentyEightySeven]

This is great and all but DO YOU NEED SPECIAL NEW UEFI HADRWARE TO BOOT THAT FAST? Or will it be that quick on any old hardware?

[microsoftwindows]

All these years and the secret is now out -- so YOU are the Program Manager !

[Membrane556]

Nope nothing impressive here it's just waking from hibernation.

[MrHystable]

@Membrane556 hibernation with no batteries, Einstein?!!

[Membrane556]

@MrHystable

Um hibernation is saving all your data to disk to what is called a hib file it's different then sleep which is just a low power mode.

Since that state is saved to disk it will still be there even if the battery is removed.

All OSes that support hibernation to disk can do this trick.

[MrHystable]

@Membrane556 and how is this related to fast boot?! let's say you hibernate and remove the battery or any other power source... when you turn your laptop on, you have to reload everything from your hard drive to your main memory... and before your OS boots, you cant even use that hiberantion file! your OS boots, then it loads that hibernation file...

So how does this exactly help with this fast boot?! it will actually makes your boot slower! looking forward to your answer :)

[xtremescript]

@MrHystable It hibernates only the kernel session. The user session is completely killed. Kernel session is really small but it's a bottleneck for windows when launching up a new one. Now there is the thing if you somehow mess up your kernel and there is no way to reboot it but i think they'll figure it out...Microsoft always does !

[TheAmeerx]

Haters Gonna Hate!

oops, did i say ubuntu?

[rayohauno]

S.O. and applications based on open source code don't lack of this inconvenience. Obviously they have other problems, but in the end those problems become solved thanks to the open source code community. Privative software always will lack of the inconvenience that they need to protect and sell they product, so they need to burden they products with unnecessary things

[rayohauno]

To make an opinion several alternatives must be used. Windows is a crap. In this case it seems fast, but it is because it is a clean installation. After you install the programs you need, it will become a turtle. The reason is clear, it is because windows and windows applications do a lot of things that are unnecessary for the user. It is that way because windows and its applications vendors need to protect their products from copies, and also because they steal info about the users.

[MrHystable]

@rayohauno typical FSF-style bs! if you control what programs are going to be loaded on startup, your startup time will be exactly the same as the very first boot! if you are not smart enough to do it yourself (run -> msconfig -> startup), you can do it through applications like CCleaner!

and about "stealing info"! it reminded me of Richard Stallman and his official -apology- for saying such things, simply because they are not true! pure bs! take a look at his personal website ;)

[rtownz251251]

jeez... a notebook booting a tablet OS (because it's just a tablet OS and also this probably isn't the full version and this still the ''alpha'' version). what the F*ck did you expect? Put an SSD inside of most machines and they will boot extremely quick so what is so special about this?

[jwd0808]

@rtownz251251 - It's a full OS, not a tablet OS - Win8 combines the two together. Even on an older laptop, the boot time is under 8 seconds. 

[rtownz251251]

@jwd0808 true I noticed that later on as well. anyways the booting time in 8 eight seconds depends on the hard drive that they put into that notebook. If you put an SSD inside of a old notebook it will sure run pretty smooth anyways so I'm wondering what hard drive they had put inside of that notebook

[xthedakmanx]

@rtownz251251 It would also have to depend on the BIOS, and posting.

The Google chromebook BIOS (for example) knows what the computer has hardware wise, and basically can just skip post, hence the startup time (that and the SSD, of course). I don't see how "Windows 8 boots in 8 seconds" could really happen in the real world, atleast right now, unless every single mobo manufacturer updated their BIOS firmware. People would probably have to buy new hardware to get the "8 second boot"

[salchiflas]

@xthedakmanx its calls ssd -.- men u dont know ssd harddrives???

[xthedakmanx]

@salchiflas lol dumbass. ssd doesn't mean that your computer will instantly start. yes its faster, but it has nothing to do with posting

[salchiflas]

@xthedakmanx lol you ... i see their new start system i realy dont understand it but there is the thing...

[qcStarcraft]

@salchiflas Win7 on an ssd does not boot nearly as fast as this. Neither does mac osx or latest ubuntu.

[arra009]

u need to get laid hahahaha !!!

[050Gr0ningen050]

Ik vind het heeeel opvallend dat het filmpje herspringt net als het 'opgestart' is ...

Dus ik zeg, fake

[fghfhg1212121]

no thanks i keep my windows xp the best one

[kkaozzz]

please guys microsoft can never be as good as mac or linux, they will never fix the blue screen, is the awful truth accept it

[MupKoo]

@kkaozzz as good as mac or linux... now thats bull shit.... Windows is the best OS till date, and by best I mean the OS with the APIs.... It's the windows fault that you f things up.... My Windows 7 machine works as well as it worked a year ago without reinstall. And I dont even use Antivirus program, the only thing I use to clean the system is CCleaner...

And before saying anything.... I spent my whole day working on Ubuntu and Mac OSX, so I know the difference

[mantheman100]

so that is why microsoft owns 95% of the worlds computer?

btw Macs freeze up more often than windows 7 does lmao

[Xaeleep]

@mantheman100 "Macs" freeze up more than windows 7 does? You seem to know alot about operating systems. Derp

[EggChapstick]

@mantheman100 But which Mac OSX are you referring to?

[an65001]

@mantheman100 I am done testing Linux on my PC, now Windows 8! :D

[oxxadamxxo]

Well right now on Windows 7 (ASUS eee slate ep121), I get a 25 seconds cold boot time which is very decent. Hope I can use Windows 8 soon.

[POJAC3]

@oxxadamxxo i have a asus eee slate too! i optimized the bottup and it boots in about 15 secs

[sirlinkyalot]

Simple how this works, they use SSDs and they also don't stop the kernel session causing for a fast bootup such as shown above. Honestly though, always having the kernel session never shut down is a horrible idea, I can just see the problems now....

[lateloop]

can't boot from hibernate off zero power. you'll start at the bios. i sense the apple fanboys getting a little nervous about microsoft... probably because apple is now mainstream, and suddenly windows is the underdog.

[Jimbo282]

I like, but my current laptop running win 7 recovers from hibernation just as fast using a SSD. But at least it's not any worse :P Windows 8 is gonna be awesome either way. Can't wait to get a tablet with a digitizer pen and windows 8.

[LCouto87]

it still takes 2x more than my Apple's iMac with MacOSX Lion... sad but true!

[itztheJL]

@LCouto87 and they faked it, lol.

[turtledogg]

It's haaaaaaacks!!!!

[lin545]

Lol, Linux is starting in under 1 second from hibernate+ssd.

And WHY you need windows on laptops? For moar insecurity?! Lol!

[Zoltar900]

this chick puts flutes in her pussy

[NJNC12]

It is a SSD drive. That's what most Laptops are moving towards as a standard soon. It cost so much at the moment to get a SSD then a normal HDD but you can tell the differences right away.

[lackovich]

almost like TV :)

[rapsball4]

It's definitely not coming from a hibernate - the battery was out and it wasn't plugged in. So it is a cold boot. Yes it is probably an SSD drives, but by the time Windows 8 is the default OS then SSD drives will be standard so I bet we probably can expect something close to that fast at first (of course as you add more start-up apps it'll slow down like any OS).

[gurghet]

if it’s so fast why do you cut the video at the end?

[Animurh]

DAMN TECHNOLOGY YOU AMAZING!

[jcb82]

Even if its an SSD it'll have to be a really fast SSD to boot that fast. They should've pulled out the hard drive for the demo as well. Anyways, I still think this is impressive compared to what we're used to on windows.

[g0rsk13g4n9st4]

So is this cold boot or hibernate recovery? It'd be impressive for a cold boot on a stock HDD. If it's from an SSD, that's stretching the truth. Other OSes such as Ubuntu and OS X cold boot in less than 10 sec from an SSD, hibernate recovery is even faster.

[RafaelTaleroVEVO]

Tenia el portátil suspendido!..

[TheMrKapten]

FAIL

[frankp4]

Noooo, they kept the same concept of the windows phone, graphic wise, lame!

[Films4You]

Yes but.. Window 1 booted in one second

[GilucZ]

@Films4You No it didn't

[warex3d]

haters don't understand technology -_- zzzzz

[GilucZ]

lol, I think my laptop used about a minute to start up when I first got it. Now it's like 10 minutes :)

[mignesme]

@GilucZ maybe you should tidy it a bit :)

[GilucZ]

@mignesme I should. I'm just trying to say that there's no way it will forever keep booting in just 8 seconds :)

[iparad]

I feel this is a bit misleading... We do know that there is a strong connection between Windows Phone OS and the Windows 8 OS. And that there is going to be a "Windows Phone OS" like boot/side to Windows 8. And that startpage look to be just that... So, 8 seconds is the Windows Phone OS boot, now how long is the full OS boot?

[ChirikRAT]

Видно разрыв во времени. Монтаж!

[SunnyMoon2010]

Boots in 8 seconds ?! Based on the Microsoft track record. MS like to define their own terms. Screen shows up in 8 seconds but then CPU would be running 100% for the next 5 minutes just to load other house keeping codes.

[thebeetalls]

What happens if the computer gets messed up and needs a full restart, will kernel hibernation interfere?

[TheJefisthebest]

0:33 very shitty video-editing!

[UstolemyMango]

who cares if it starts up super fast i just want one thats not crap

[Diabloke2701]

and it crashes in 5 seconds !

[jamestakeshi]

This one time at band camp....

[TrustyNutz77]

Windows xp takes 8 minutes. So what

[Zoltar900]

weird looking kitchen.... btw nice edited footage... try doing it in 1 shot biatch!!!

[ralexand56]

@Zoltar900 Way to completely miss the point. It's not a lesson in video editing.

[tekNiqueAU]

i just got 7 piss of i dont want.

[AbizmalRockabilly]

Hey,, That was like 11 seconds!

[hsoms1]

8 seconds till you get cookies then let the blue screens begin

[hsoms1]

8 seconds till you get cookies and the n

[tahalomaster]

This is exactly why microsoft plants it's foot in apple's ass.

[noldorian86]

whatever bitch...I still remember windows 98

[TheRocky760]

And yet they still can't make hardware look good!

[sudoGaron]

That would be called a hibernate recovery boot up. you don't need windows 8 to do that just an SSD drive lol. Fail marketing.

[KSMagFilms]

and spend another 30 minutes going through antivirus popups

[thedumpsterbabys]

@KSMagFilms Weird I've never had that issue. But hows spending $3,000 on a computer that's harder to find software for going?

[KSMagFilms]

@thedumpsterbabys lovin every minute of it my friend

[Jaffer09]

@KSMagFilms What is this? 1998? or are you just that dumb to get infected!

[Nanotijerina]

@KSMagFilms HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHHAA LMFAO JAJAJAJJAJJASJDAJDFKJ!

[sahooism]

gimee the pirated version first...

[allannathaniel]

eww look at the GUI though, it looks like windows phone 7 blegh

[nokomokoify]

My Linux boots in 4...

[LuisDiMexican]

@nokomokoify but can your linux do this watch?v=Vv1VkmbgnOs ? no, i'm joking i have linux on one of my PC's too.

[gotitans999]

But will it blend?

[gotitans999]

Why didn't you do this for windows 7 then? By the time people get 8 you will have 9 coming out. And you wonder why Apple is rising.

[HaloMediaz]

its 8 seconds completly new. Then you browse the web get a ton of cookies, install programmes and now its takes 30-60 seconds to start.

[mami6565]

@HaloMediaz That's your own fault. :)

[sbc2k1]

SSD... My windows seven boots in 7 seconds....

[HaggaBowtie]

Wow. Apperently everyone has a boyfriend named Jason. Dangg

[peptopro17]

xeon, 12 gigs memory, SSD, and overclocked

[garethop]

That's a hibernate recovery. Clearly using ssd drives. Its manipulation of the truth for marketing.

[Density211]

@garethop LOL yeah such BS, that and the drives probably have nothing on them, If I reformat my comp sure it will start up quick as hell, but shit eventually slows down even a little.

[jimmyneale]

@garethop the battery was out, couldnt have been hibernation

[garethop]

@jimmyneale hibernate doesn't need power. That is the point of it, it's not "sleep" like a mac does, which needs power.

[donperry1]

@jimmyneale dude, hibernation never ever requires power. SLEEP, however, does need power

[FullGamingMesh]

@garethop How do you know that for sure? Ever used Windows 8 before? Do you know how it should start up then? This could be how it starts up.

[donperry1]

@garethop SSD is the future. GET WITH IT!

[ralexand56]

@garethop They stated its a ssd drive and its not hibernate. Try reading for a change.

[AbuBishir]

@ralexand56 it is like hibernation. The article says so

[Jokzore]

@garethop it can hibernate recovery without a battery ?
