Why Windows 8 is a lot faster than Ubuntu 13.10 on the same laptop?

I am not a Windows fan. I don't like Windows. But, for my curiosity, I temporally installed Windows 8 on my machine (a Samsung NP300, Intel Core i3, 4GB Memory).

I observed that it's a lot faster than Ubuntu: boot time, application start and so on.

Why is this happening? Is there any solution to make Ubuntu faster?

Windows 8 usually don't turn off the PC. It does some kind of hibernate shutdown.

And the about app starting, I'm also amazed about the launching speed of Windows 8. I think they load your popular apps in background.
