Hibernation on laptops helps preserve standby battery life, and I personally appreciate it as I may close my laptop lid and forget about it for a week.
Yeah well “Shut Down” doesn’t need to be an alias to Hibernate, which it has been since vista
Oh yeah 100% agreed on that one, "hibernate" should definitely be in the "sleep" category.
