One of the best new features introduced by Microsoft in Windows 8 is the Fast Hybrid Boot, which improves Windows 8 boot times up to 70% compared to Windows 7:
Basically, what this new technique does is resume a hibernation file that was saved from Windows' previous boot. Based on the fact this hibernation file already exists on Windows 7, could the same technique be used on a Windows 7 system? How could I do such thing?

From the Windows 8 Build Blog:
The new Windows 8 Hybrid Boot is fast because of the new feature called Hybrid boot. Generally in hibernation mode, all files are saved in the same state, but in Windows 8 Hybrid Boot mode only the system files are saved, so that booting will not take much time.
This can't be reproduced in Windows 7 without modifying the source code.

Why not just use hibernate instead.
Win8 hybrid boot is combination between hibernate and shutdown
Logoff and hibernate from logon. Thats like Hybrid boot.

Hibernate is technically still faster than Fast Hybrid Boot, so you can use that. – mtone – 2012-10-31T14:02:34.100
