Re: [Xen-devel] State of GPLPV and Windows 8

[Paul Durrant <Paul.Durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Windows 8 doesn't actually shut down when you tell it to... It terminates all 
sessions apart from 0 (where services live) and then hibernates, so 'shutdown' 
is actually a lot more complex and error prone than it was before.
