The easily accessible Windows 8 shutdown command does nothing of the sort, but goes into (I believe) standby to RAM. It is necessary to dig into the Power entry in the charms to actually turn off the power. Standby is OK when you know you will be using the machine again within 24 hours or so and the battery is full. The fast boot feature appears to be a dynamic initrd, which stores pretty much the full OS state on disc at shutdown (having kept it in a state of near-readiness at all times, otherwise the shutdown would take forever) and allows a very fast boot. But this will only affect what happens after the Windows boot code runs, and hence would not help or hinder you here. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
