Hi all

Interesting that Fast Boot in Windoze 8 is a trick it doesn't really shut down it hibernates and Will cause problems when trying Linux.

Ya know exactly where they are coming from in the article. I found out the hard way back in October. Even though I really didn't need to install Windows 8 on my monster, It's a freebee for myself/family. So I still play just to keep up with business.
