I want to know the answer to the following question:
What happens during Hybrid Boot mode?
All the background I'm provided with is that "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 (known as Windows To Go).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
