Windows 8 rumors have been floating around for some time and last two weeks many Windows fans were attracted to Windows 8 Portable Workspace. It is one of the most interesting Windows 8 features we have seen thus far for it would allow you to take your Windows 8 desktop with you on a USB thumb drive.
In fact, it isn't a completely new concept, there's already a whole rake of portable apps that you can run straight from a USB key. Similar to the Linux-on-a-stick solutions already offered, Portable Workspace will allow Windows 8 Enterprise customers to load a bootable image of Windows 8 onto a USB that is at least 16GB in size. It's very easy to carry around a bootable copy of Linux OS on a USB drive or even a CD and run it on any computer.
Microsoft has made great efforts on Windows 8 tablets as well as improving its portability. With Windows 8 portable workspace, it would solve many compatibility problems that may exist when one tries to utilize an application originally designed for a previous version of Windows, such as Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
In addition, they've already confirmed that Windows 8 will support ARM and x86 processors and there seems to be better touch support.
At present, no further detailed information about windows 8 were given and let's looking forwards to its new features together.

Recently, windows 8 have discovered a new feature calls Hybrid Boot. It bases the hibernation and only works in core operating system files. The Hybrid Boot can speed up the boot of the operating system and do not need the privacy implications.
Hybrid Boot can save the contents of the RAM to the hard drive to accelerate the next start of the operating system and start working where you left instead of shutdown the operating system.
Hibernation is different from sleep mode. Sleep mode is a low power mode for electronic devices. It save significant electrical consumption compared to leaving a device fully on and idle but allow the user to avoid having to reset programming codes or wait for a machine to reboot. (Wikipedia) Hybrid Boot can auto start if you press the shutdown button of the start menu. According to Windows 8 news, Hybrid Boot can save 20 seconds of startup time on system and the data saved for a faster start.
If Microsoft really put this new feature into Windows 8 operating system it will bring a big benefit of reduce boot time to the Windows 8 users. But maybe it is not good to Multi-boot computer users, because the boot manager of Hybrid Boot is not displayed if Windows 8 was shut down with Hybrid Boot enabled. So the Hybrid Boot can be disabled in the Control Panel under Power Options in Windows 8.
