New and changed features
New features and functionality in Windows 8 include a faster startup through UEFI integration and the new "Hybrid Boot" mode (which hibernates the Windows kernel on shutdown to speed up the subsequent boot), a new lock screen with a clock and notifications, and the ability for enterprise users to create live USB versions of Windows.

Fast and Fluid: This feature provides life to Windows apps by adding animations to them. The fast and fluid animations act an integral part of the Windows 8 user experience. When you log on to your PC, the Apps in the Start screen animate in. In addition, when you launch a Windows app or zoom into the Start screen, the experience is enriched with a smooth animation. Animations help a user identify the result of a specific action. The word, Fast, in the term, Fast and Fluid, refers to a quick response to the user input. That means when the user interacts with an application, then the application should quickly respond to the user action and should be ready to receive more user inputs.
