Here's an idea,

Dual- (or Multi-) stage boot Windows (or other OSs)

To help – Allow a single OS to be installed on a tablet or notebook device (or even smart phones and desktops), reduce multi-OS management and possibly reduce time needed switching between OSs. Also, most likely to help Microsoft to sell Windows (8) to netbook and tablet makers.
